Creative, relevant music lessons are important in preparing musicians for musical futures that include and also go beyond traditional methods.
Developing well rounded musicians calls for building skills in music, creativity and technology, as well as sound instruction in the areas of technique, theory and performance skills.
NEW!!! PERFORMANCE WEEKS
“Performance Weeks”. On the last week of the month, show up for lessons as usual (whether
in person or online), where we will do a video performance, and spend the remainder of the
lesson doing something “out of the box”. This could include writing a song, learning rhythms
with drums, or using the floor piano to learn chords or intervals. This change in routine
once a month will continue to give students performance practice, as well as provide a fun
break in routine to keep things exciting and fresh!
COMING - THIS FALL!
FABULOUS 4-WEEK CLASSES...
Trusting that things will settle down eventually, I am hoping to offer these additional 4-week classes October and November. Please let me know if you are interested as class size will be limited! (Class times to be announced, probably Saturdays late morning-early afternoon and Monday afternoons)
