CLASS DESCRIPTIONS OVERVIEW
We
have a passion for the music education of the young child, and know how to
lead them all the way to advanced levels without burning them out! The path
must begin with a fun, engaging experience that fits who they are and what
they can do easily. Because we know every child is different, at The Music
Place we encourage parents and their kids follow one or both of TWO DIFFERENT inspiring PATHS of music education.
We offer EXPLORATION CLASSES for 2 age groups:
For ages 1-7:
For your children who are academically strong OR who have a passion to play or explore music & instruments, we offer a comprehensive, sequential plan for their musical development beginning as early as 12 months of age (!), and continuing through pre-school to the most advanced levels.
- We’ve designed our beginning toddler and preschool curriculum to capture your child’s natural enthusiasm for discovery by combining the art of play and the structure of music. In Family (ages 1-3) and Early Music Awareness™ classes (ages 3-7) your child will have so much fun, he probably won’t notice he’s actually learning how to read music and getting ready for more advanced classes!
For any age*:
At The Music Place we know that most children need experience with an instrument before making a decision to pursue learning it. To address this need, a child may enroll in a SHORT-TERM series of private lessons designed to allow the potential instrumental student to try any number of size-appropriate instruments in which they might be interested. Using Music Place instruments, parents do not have to worry about investing in the rental of instruments or making an instrument choice without educated guidance from a music instructor. (This option is available for those whose *personalized assessment has indicated their readiness to begin instrumental instruction.)
When he’s developmentally ready* we have private lessons for voice and instruments including piano, keyboard, violin, guitar, harp, drums, flute, recorder, saxophone, clarinet, brasswinds and more. To keep it easy and fun, many children may alternate between the high-energy, interactive group classes and private one-on-one lessons until they are ready for weekly private lessons. Our large staff offers a variety of teaching styles so that your child can be placed with one tailored for him.
*Be sure to learn about our free
assessment of your child’s aptitude and readiness!
Let’s face it, some children just love to be center stage! For students 4-18 who love OR WANT TO LOVE performing, we offer another stream of classes that include the development of the more physical elements of learning to sing, act and move. Available in group or private lesson formats, performance classes including Voice, ALL Arts, Worship Arts and theater camps perform regularly, stimulating team work and the fun of being center stage with costumes, props and a showcase of talent!
