Private Piano Lessons
Whether a child plays the piano for a short time or a lifetime, they will acquire a baseline of skills and knowledge that will continue to benefit them throughout their life. Learning to play the piano can be one of the most valuable musical studies because it is the most straightforward and intuitive of instruments. Learning piano can also help tremendously when a student studies a different musical instrument later.
We recommend that younger beginning students start with a 30-minute private lesson once a week. Older beginners can benefit from a 30 or 45-minute lesson. More advanced students typically find 60 minutes to be the most significant benefit.
Private Voice Lessons
The main focus of voice lessons is to improve a student’s vocal technique. However, other things can be incorporated as needed, such as sight reading, learning specific types of literature, and period music. The vocal technique includes posture and breathing, improving tone quality, extending and equalizing range, and advancing flexibility. For this individual lessons the student should be able to read music. Recommended for ages 8 and up.
Private lessons are adapted to the student’s needs, from younger students just beginning to develop their voice to adults revisiting a neglected talent or capitalizing on an exceptional one. Many students are preparing for auditions and competitions, including All Region/All District/All State, Solo and Ensemble, NATS (National Association of Teachers of Singing), and smaller local festivals. Others are preparing for auditions of choirs or shows or developing roles already acquired. Any student serious enough about music to be a college music major should be prepared with private lessons. The competition is fierce, and a musician can never be too prepared!
Music Theory Group Class
A music theory group lesson is a class where multiple students learn about the fundamentals of music together. These lessons typically cover topics like note values, time signatures, scales, chords, and other foundational concepts. Group settings can foster a collaborative and engaging learning environment, encouraging students to learn from and motivate each other.
