Philosophy

A key tenet of our district's teaching philosophy is to build a comfortable environment where students can enjoy themselves while learning. Part of the goal of music instruction should be to learn how to learn. Through creative games in music theory and instrumental training, entertaining repertoire and collaboration with teachers and peers, students capture a sense of enrichment and place more value on music study.

We believe that every child has a powerful need for creativity and a natural understanding of rhythm and music.

If nurtured, this can develop into refined skill and craftsmanship.

Students are well-educated in European and American Pedagogical Studies and receive comprehensive instruction in:

Notation, music theory and ear training

Sight-reading and sight-playing

Technical and performance skills
