Independent Exploration
'Always wanted to learn' is available to you, at your convenience
Private lessons give focused attention to the individual and their development on the given instrument. Students are encouraged to access freedom of self-expressing through the development of technical proficiency and fundamental musical concepts. This freedom sparks enthusiasm that feeds their desire to learn more, to refine their skills through consistent practice, and to share their achievements in performance.
Group Lessons
Learning Together
Cooperative learning and sharing as a community
Group lessons provide a cooperative manner where children will learn to play and sing in small ensembles in an environment that's fun, dynamic, and engaging. Our curriculum is a fun mash up of well-known teaching methods and will be used to develop a child's keen interest in playing and performing. Games will reinforce basic musicianship skills on the preparatory level.
