My child has never studied music before, what instrument should they choose?
Let them choose the instrument they want to learn most! The healthiest learning environment will grow when a student chooses the instrument he or she wants to study.
What are your free “Musicianship Skills” courses?
The Musicianship Skills courses are a mix of music theory, rhythmic training, and ear-training, and are free for registered students. Our copyrighted three-year curriculum was developed by Bronx Conservatory and tailored and leveled to optimally support student mastery. Students learn everything from fundamentals of reading and writing music in various clefs, to more advanced music theory, ear training and rhythmic skills. Musicianship Skills classes meet for one half-hour each week and are open to all students age 7 and up.
If I miss a lesson, do you provide make-ups?
If you or your child cannot make it to your lesson, you unfortunately forfeit the lesson. Lessons are only made up if the teacher misses a class.
