Classes include an exploration of Pitch and Notation, Scales and Keys, Rhythm, Intervals, Chords, Melody Writing, Music Appreciation/History, and Analysis.
Performance Classes
Performance classes are part of the school curriculum and are held for private voice and instrumental students three times in the academic year. The goal of these classes is to help students become more comfortable performing in front of others so that they will be able to share their talents with confidence. Teachers will inform parents and students of exact dates and times.
