Learning a musical instrument is fun, fulfilling, and challenging. Through music lessons, students explore a wide variety of musical styles and sounds, and learn how to express and interpret emotions. It's easy to learn when you are having fun! That's why we teach the fundamentals of music through the songs that students love. Some of the concepts we will learn are: Proper playing posture How to hold, tune, and take care of our instruments How to play exercises and familiar songs to warm up the hands How to play major scales and arpeggios Proper bow hold and bowing technique How to play your favorite songs and have fun on your instrument!
Learning Goals
We will work together to set individual goals for each student and follow a plan to keep the student progressing at their own pace.
