Q.
What are the benefits of group lessons?
A.
Group lessons help students become
individually motivated. With our specifically
designed programs, our group lessons are the best
way for beginning students to gain the skills
necessary to function as part of an ensemble, as
well as establish proper technique and good
practicing habits. These classes can help students
gain confidence through encouragement, and
interaction with the teacher and class.
Q. What are the benefits of private
lessons?
A.
Private lessons allow our teachers to design a
specific program for your child based upon previous
musical experience, level of performance, sight
reading, etc. Personal attention from the instructor
offers a chance to advance at the student’s rate of
learning.
Q.
How long should my child practice?
A.
The length of practice time is dependent on
variables such as the assignment at hand and the
experience level of the student. It is important
that students practice weekly assignments daily and
correctly for the amount of times specified on the
practice organizer.
Q.
How do I know if my child is practicing correctly?
A.
The weekly practice organizer will state what the
student should be practicing and the parent can
monitor as needed.
Q.
What instrument is right for my child?
A.
Piano is always a great choice for a student with no
prior musical experience, it is the easiest
instrument on which to learn fundamental music
skills. Learning basic piano lays a foundation
for advancement on any instrument. However, if
your child wishes to begin study on a different
instrument in which he/she shows particular
interest, an allowance in this respect may
positively contribute to his/her level of motivation
and long term success.
Q.
How young can my child be to start an instrument?
A. We offer classes for children to begin an
instrument as young as 4 years old. For your
newborn-3 yr. old to receive a positive introduction
into the world of music, sign up for the
“Kindermusik” program.
Q.
How much do
instruments cost?
A. Instruments vary in prices by type and
quality of instrument. *Note: Always buy
within your budget, but without sacrificing the quality
of the instrument.
