Our Philosophy
Musicality is first and foremost in our approach. Students will work to produce a pleasing tone with a sense of timing and style. Our ensembles are also based on the musicality first approach and our performances are known for their tone quality, tuning, musical balance, phrasing and style. Our Award winning Honor Band has achieved 27 outstanding and superior ratings at music festivals.
We believe the best way to learn music at school is in small groups and we schedule these by compatible age, instrument and experience. In our school programs, we schedule ensemble rehearsals for students who are ready for this experience. Most importantly, each lesson is tailored for the way the class learns best. Performances reflect that careful planning we take to ensure every student has the best opportunity to grow and learn.
Many students have preferred Online Music Classes
Students who take music lessons online usually have chosen private lessons (online small groups can be arranged if you have a freind(s) that want to pair up with you). In this setting, students are able to learn the type of music they are most interested in. While online, our teachers can focus 100% of their attention on that one student to ensure that hand positioning, posture or the understanding of a particular concept are correct. If a student has a particular difficulty in one area, the teacher can work on it more easily. Also, if a student is excelling in one area, the teacher can introduce music that interests that student. We offer 30 minute and 1 hour lessons.
Using this format (School classes at select locations and flexible Online music lessons), our program is equipped to offer music lessons for students of all ages and abilities.
