Instrumental lessons in violin, piano, cello, flute, and guitar are available for children ages 3 and up. Children who do not know what instrument they wish to study may participate in our Meet the Instruments program for Talent-Ed Kids. These classes provide a fun musical foundation for further study and introduce the students to the various instruments they may study at a young age. Children older than five may wish to visit the school to watch each instrument being taught as a means of determining their favorite. Call the school today to schedule your individualized tour!
The course of study for instrumental lessons consists of both private and group classes. The private class takes place once a week for 45 (or 60) minutes and provides the heart of the instruction. Parents attend these lessons so they are fully equipped to practice with their child at home in preparation for the next lesson.
The group class takes place once a week for 60 minutes, including both repertoire and musicianship studies, and provides a social setting for musical pursuits. Children gain a peer group, develop ensemble skills, begin note reading and theory instruction, and perform informally for each other in preparation for the student solo recitals. Parents attend these classes as well to offer support and assist their child. All beginning group classes cover the beginning instrumental curriculum as well as material for our beginning music theory class, Musicianship 001.
We invite you to visit our school, tour our facilities, and speak personally with Becki prior to beginning the registration process. They will help you determine the best course of study for your child. At that time, if you have not already done so, you may also sign up for the Parent Orientation session and a class observation time. These are the first steps towards a joyful and successful musical journey with your child.
