Come join the fun and learn the basics in a positive, motivating class environment. Beginners can see everyone making progress in their class, get some individual help from the teacher and play together as a team. This is great for building listening skills and steady beat. Students learn using a songbook plus a music theory workbook. Reading musical notation is included and different styles are introduced. During the one hour class we also have time for musical games and other activities. Students can stay in the group setting for up to two years, or can switch to private lessons at any time. Special "Mini-Recitals" are planned up to four times a year where parents and families attend class to hear a performance.

The world needs music! Are you playing your part?

Group "Lab" Classes Include:

• Individual & Group Instruction
• Small Class Size
• Parent Performances four times per year(mini-recitals)

Piano Lab (Keyboard)

• 4 year olds, Kindergarten, 1st through 5th grade and Adult sections too.

These are introductory keyboard classes for beginners with up to six students in each class. We teach a notation-based program, focusing on reading music and rhythms, technique, ensembles, and some theory activities. The teacher helps each student individually at their keyboard for a small portion of the class during headphone time, and we also have a chance to play piano together in ensemble (great for building listening skills and steady rhythm). Parent Performance Days are scheduled throughout the year, and the teacher will assess the student's progress and recommend private piano lessons at the appropriate time. Adult Student performances also available. Students should have a keyboard or piano at home to practice weekly assignments.

Guitar Lab (Acoustic or Electric)

• Two age groups offered: 7-11 year olds, 12 years and up.

This class is for beginning guitar students with up to eight students, and we focus on learning to tune the guitar, reading music, melody playing, chords and strumming, basic skills and techniques, and ensemble playing. Students use a songbook plus a music workbook. Parent Performance Days are scheduled throughout the year and the teacher will assess the student's progress and recommend private lessons at the appropriate time. Students bring their guitar to class (a student size acoustic or electric is fine).

Strings Lab (Violin)

• 1st through 5th grades.

We teach violin in a blended Suzuki and traditional curriculum, with many activities to develop a solid technique with beautiful sound and intonation along with introduction of notation and reading. Students start with familiar tunes and learn from each other in the mixed age group setting. Parent Performance days are scheduled throughout the year and the teacher will assess the student's progress and recommend private violin lessons at the appropriate time. Students bring their appropriate sized violin to class (please include fine tuners on your violin).
