Our program

Designed to help students become the best musicians they can possibly be!

Why us

We provide the best multifaceted learning experience!

Sight Reading

Sight reading enables musicians to quickly recognize and interpret musical notation, allowing them to play with accuracy and confidence—and it is an essential skill for any musician who wants to be able to read and perform music on the spot. By developing their sight reading skills, musicians can expand their repertoire, improve their overall musicianship, and open up new opportunities for performance.

Chords & Scales

In order for a musician to create or perform music, they must understand chords and scales. These fundamental building blocks provide the foundation for melody, harmony, and rhythm, allowing musicians to express themselves creatively and effectively. By mastering chords and scales, musicians can unlock a world of possibilities in their musical endeavors.

Rhythm

Rhythm is an essential element of music that provides structure and coherence, helping to tie together the various parts of a piece. It sets the tempo and pulse of a song, giving it a sense of momentum and energy, and can be used to create tension, emotion, and excitement. Without rhythm, music would lack the driving force that keeps listeners engaged and connected.

Music Theory

Music theory provides a foundation for understanding the structure and organization of music, as well as the underlying principles of melody, harmony, and rhythm. By studying music theory, musicians can develop a deeper appreciation for the art form and enhance their ability to express themselves creatively.

College Prep

College prep involves developing a strong foundation in music theory, performance, and composition, as well as networking and building connections with industry professionals—all necessary to pursue higher education as well as a career in the music industry. With the right preparation, musicians can maximize their potential and succeed in their chosen career path.

Whether you are interested in Piano, Guitar, or Vocals, we offer a constantly expanding selection that caters to all skill levels.

A sight reading and music theory test was performed on a class of 22 middle school students.

Initial Average Score

After the first exam, the class average was 25%, with only 4.9 correct answers out of 20 questions.

After FIVE 30-Minute Sessions With Our Instructors

The class retained 23.4 correct answers out of 24, with exceptional students receiving as high as 105%.

This study was done on only one class out of an entire K-12 institution, and all results from all students were comparable.
