Class Experience

Are you looking new in the music scene and want to improve your music reading skills? Do you want to learn in a fun, ability inclusive, and safe environment? Come join my Bass clef reading crash course! We will learn how to read music in a bass clef staff, and recognize notes quickly. 

The class will be approx. 55 minutes long to accomplish learning all 5 notes on the staff lines and all 4 notes in the staff spaces, 2 notes over the staff, and their relation to the treble clef. 

The class will be calm and comfortable, with knowledge-testing games to enhance learning and fun! There will be slides and gestures for visual learners, songs for auditory learners, and questions will be welcomed throughout the entire course! 
Small, quiet fidget toys are also welcome if they improve focus! 

Students must be able to read Treble Clef and/or have taken "How to Read Music: A Crash Course!" prior to enrollment
