Why Group Lessons?
Overview
We
currently offer lessons in many areas of music: Musikgarten classes
for ages 1 to 6, Young Beginners at the Keyboards for ages 5 and 6,
and piano/keyboard, voice, strings, woodwinds, guitar, brass, and percussion
lessons for all ages through seniors.
Music Dynamics provides qualified music instructors for each area of
concentration.
We offer private lessons and private/group combination lessons for
piano/keyboard students.
Private/group combination lessons include 30 minutes of group and 15 minutes of
private lesson time, all in the same day. Groups consist of 4-6 children
of about the same age and level of musical ability. Private lessons
provide 30 minutes of one-on-one instruction.
We offer our customers a free, no obligation interview prior to starting
lessons. At that time, the parent, student and teacher can discuss which
type of lessons would be appropriate and the teacher can plan a curriculum.
Our philosophy was and still is that music lessons should be fun. Music fundamentals, ear training and sight reading are fun to learn when presented through an enjoyable format of games, flash cards, rhythms instruments, and board work. The ensemble experience is also enjoyable to the student. Therefore, group teaching is our preferred choice, however, individual lessons are also provided when needed.
Early Childhood
Musikgarten | Classes | Young Beginners at the Keyboard
In order to provide
a good musical background for students and parents as early as possible,
Music Dynamics purchased a license and two teachers became certified
to teach the nationally known early childhood curriculum "Musikgarten"
for ages 0-7. This pre-school music program enables families to get
their children off to an early start and to continue their instruction
for as long as possible.
Musikgarten is a family-focused approach to music study that addresses
the needs of the whole child at the earliest stages of development.
You and your child will have a wonderful musical experience through
a combination of songs, playing movement games and instruments, listening
and learning. Younger siblings are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Classes are offered for three age groups: Family Music for Toddlers
for ages 1 to 3, Cycle of Seasons classes for ages 3 to 5 and the Music
Makers for ages 4½ to 6. No instrument is necessary.
We offer piano classes for children 5 or 6 years old. Students must
have access to a piano or keyboard.
Seniors
Senior piano/keyboard classes for beginners age 50+ are available and customized to fit the adult schedule. Private lessons are also available.
Equipment
All
piano/keyboard lessons are conducted using acoustic pianos and the latest
Clavinova digital pianos, each equipped with a disk drive. Using these
keyboards our students gain up-to-date technical knowledge. We encourage
our students to use CDs and computer disks to enhance the enjoyment
of their lessons.
Tuition | Materials Account
Regular
tuition covers 33 lessons or performance classes from September through
May (except as noted in lesson descriptions).
Lesson fees are prorated for students who begin during the school year.
A tri-annual tuition plan is available for all types of lessons.
