Students
of all ages (children and adults) and all levels
(beginners to
advanced) may be enrolled in any of the programs we offer. While our
school year begins in mid-August, students may start at any time they
wish.
We teach all of our students to be literate in Music. In addition to learning how to play their instrument of choice, they also learn how to read music, memorize it, and perform artistically.

Piano students may enroll in Private Piano or Group Piano. Private Piano students may select from "Developing Artist" or "Basic Private" or "Adult Private Piano" regardless of experience, knowledge, or ability. Advanced students may enroll in "Master Series" with the approval of the Director.
In addition to their regularly scheduled lessons, Private Piano students have a Performance Class every 5 weeks. This class is taught by the Director and is used to educate the students in the etiquette of Piano Performance, to develop the self-confidence needed to perform in public, and to acquire appreciation of music in general. It is in this class that the students master the skill they need to perform in public (recitals, festivals, competitions, auditions, etc..) with confidence.
Developing Artist (DA): The student has two 45-minute lessons per teaching week, one is the Private Lesson itself, and the other is the Musicianship Class. The Private Lesson is taught one-on-one and focuses on technique and artistry. The Musicianship Class is taught in a group of 4 to 6 students of approximately the same age and level, and focuses on theory, musicianship, rhythm, composition, music history, and music appreciation.

The Musikgarten program we use is designed to increase your child's curiosity about music, to develop his/her listening skills and sense of beat, and to establish his/her foundation for a strong music education that will be extremely valuable during his/her school years. Within your child are the voice, the movement, and the language of music. Your decision to initiate music education for your child at an early age enhances his/her natural musical potential and enriches your family life through active music making.
