Class Information
Dalcroze-Eurhythmics (Ages 3, 4-5 & 6-7)
Dalcroze-Eurhythmics is a movement-based approach to learning music. In game-like activities, children use body movement, hand drums and small percussion instruments to respond to elements of music, such as rhythm, pitch and dynamics. These classes not only lay the foundation of good musicianship, but also develop attentiveness, concentration and motor coordination.

Suzuki Program (Ages 3 & up)
Instruction available on flute and guitar: Lessons are available from 30 minutes and up.
The Suzuki method of teaching is founded on the principle that every child possesses the capacity to learn music. The primary goal of the program is to cultivate well-rounded students and nurture a love of music and music making. This is achieved in a non-competitive environment through group and tailored individual instruction. Through daily practice, the student develops discipline and a strong work ethic which promotes self esteem and a feeling of accomplishment. The "Suzuki Triangle" is a fundamental element of the Suzuki method. The student, parent, and teacher form this triangle. This parental involvement and support is invaluable to the student. |
