Music Theory Classes
Do you feel your child struggles to read music? Are they losing interest in music classes? The issue may lie in their music-reading ability.
Theory is the grammar of music and, therefore, the basis for music understanding. Instruction in music theory is required for all students taking private instruction in any instrument. For younger students, theory is part of private instrument instruction. For older students we recommend taking theory separately in a group setting.
The music theory class centers on reading and writing music notation, harmony training, ear training (sight–singing in solfege and dictation) and rhythm training.
The classes are available in a group setting (no more than 5 students) and as private instruction. In both cases, each class is 30 minutes and meets once per week.
Composition
As students progress in their understanding of music theory and begin to master an instrument, they may want to express themselves musically with original compositions. Our composition classes are an excellent way for children to understand music from the inside out and to express their own potential and unique talent.
