Important Things to Know for New Students
- Any age can be the “right age” to begin studying music as long as the music lessons are fun and the student can be successful. We provide instruction in Music beginning with very young children and continuing with children in Grades 1-4 in different levels. Older children will quickly pick up these concepts and will also learn music concepts for their grade levels.
- The first class day is extremely important. The Early Childhood Elementary classes will be given a sample lesson. We will sing songs, do some movements, play on instruments, and have fun. At the same time the children will be learning music fundamentals such as rhythm and solfege.
- Beginning band students will be given an opportunity to try the instruments to see what they like and what they would have success playing. IMPORTANT: Be sure to see the band information page. A quality instrument is of utmost importance. The music stores listed on the links page can help you. If your child already has an instrument, he or she should bring it.
- Any student that has any experience playing a band instrument may be eligible to be in the intermediate or advanced band. This will be determined by audition. Again, see the band information page.
There is no charge for the first day of class, which is an orientation for all students and their parents.
