Group instruction provides a positive learning environment and gives parents a core group within which they can exchange ideas and know that all feel music education is vital to the development of their child. Group instruction usually motivates students in a positive and fun manner, and it helps all students and especially the shy student develop self-esteem and self confidence. Our philosophy is for students to be placed in their best learning environment. If the student, parent, or teacher is not pleased with the group instruction, the student can always be changed to partner or private lessons. 45 minute partner lessons are offered when two students are not able to fit into a group lesson.
Private instruction is offered for all ages.
The beginning students have a thirty minute lesson per week and a theory class. Group students often add biweekly private lessons. Music is not taught for music's sake. They will also, within the therapeutic structure, provide music enrichment experiences specifically geared to the person with special needs.
