Discover Our Unique Teaching Approach
Mastering Music Notation
Gain a solid foundation in reading and interpreting musical notes. Reading and fluency in music is a skill that can constantly be improved. As students progress in their knowledge of music theory, they are provided repertoire that progressively increases in reading difficulty.
Understanding Song Forms
Learn how different song structures create memorable melodies. Through classical and orchestral repertoire, teachers help students gain an awareness of standard popular song forms and structures within classical music. Additionally, students are encouraged to compose their own music as a way of solidifying their understanding of song forms.
Expressive Performance Techniques
Develop skills to bring emotion and dynamics to your playing.
Students are presented with repertoire that improves their ability to perform music with accents and vibrato at various tempos and dynamic levels.
Exploring Chords and Harmony with Repertoire
Build your chord vocabulary to enrich your musical expression.
With knowledge of chords, students can start to compose their own musical
compositions using chords as a way of interpreting music.
