Why Music

Music Lessons for Home Schooling Families


Are you looking for a way to supplement and fulfill your home school curriculum for music classes?  We offer private and group classes in keyboard, woodwinds, strings, guitar, voice and theory.  

Group lessons:  With the various music curriculums that are available from self teaching books to method books, our group lessons offer music lessons as a terrific alternative or supplement to what you may be wanting for music education in your homeschooling.   Many homeschooling families have more than one child that are interested in music, our groups offer a less expensive,  but equally as rewarding, option to private lessons while still maintaining a well rounded musical experience  and foundation to music understanding.

Children will begin their training in a well rounded musical atmosphere.  The curriculum includes rhythmic notation, music reading, signs and symbols, basic ensemble skills, ear training, singing and introduction to the percussion, winds and string families.   After this course, students would be able to select and work on an instrument of their choice, in a private or mini-masterclass setting.   A large part of their music understanding would already be in place and the move to private or mini-masterclass sessions would be ultimately more successful and enjoyable for the student and more cost effective for mom and dad.   

Your commitment to the rental of an instrument, purchasing music and equipment and the fees of private or mini-masterclass lessons and your child's commitment to practice and study, will be a sure one and an investment with a better success rate after attending these Introduction to Music classes.

Private or Mini-Masterclass Instruction:  For students who have already chosen an instrument and/or has a fundamental in music knowlege, more individualized lessons are available.  These lessons are charged by the time slot and are slightly more expensive than the group options.    An introductory lesson/ music review  and conference will determine what style of lessons should ensue for maximum learning results.

Classes specifically for home schoolers are scheduled from 1:00 to 3:30 PM any weekday. 


Group Classes available:

Introductory Music Courses:  Young Musicians (Ages 4-6),  Music Adventurers (Ages 7-12), Junior and Senior Music Study (13-17)

Piano/Theory Lab - Our piano and theory labs allow students to progress at their own rates through their solo repertoire.  Unlike traditional piano courses students also develop ensemble skills and learn music theory concepts along with fellow students.
The lab can hold up to 5 students at a time and are intended for beginning to second year students.

Suzuki Methodology
(Violin, Viola, Cello) - The Suzuki Method with its emphasis on developing not only musical talent but strong character through a nurturing environment dovetails well with the goals of many homeschool families.  The Suzuki Method emphasizes the participation of parents in both the lesson and home practice sessions.

Guitar Ensemble-  For students interested in learning fundamentals of classical style, basic chords, strumming techniques and tablature.  

Recorder Choir
- For student interested in studying woodwind instruments the recorder choir is a great place to begin learning the fundamentals of breathing, tonguing, note reading and phrasing.  After students have progressed in coordination and understanding of these basic techniques they can transition to flute, clarinet, oboe, saxophone or bassoon.

High School Voice classes - These classes are scheduled Tuesday evenings for 1st to 3rd year voice students and Thursday evenings for more advanced students.  Students can audition for placement in either class.
