FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: WHAT DO YOU LEARN IN YOUR MUSIC LESSONS? That question is often asked by prospective students. Our teachers make it a priority to get to know you on a personal level and to become familiar with your personal musical needs and goals. We do not treat every student the same in terms of what and how we teach. A seven year old having their first guitar lesson will have very different needs than a fifty seven year old taking up piano for the 2nd time after having had lessons as a child. The main reason to choose this school as your music lesson provider, is that we are sensitive to the fact that every student is an individual. If you enroll here for lessons, we will work with you to make a plan that will fit your needs and musical preferences. At the first lesson your teacher will ask you about your favorite type of music, and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child. WHAT STYLES OF MUSIC DO YOU TEACH? We teach all styles from rock, pop, jazz, country, metal, blues and classical. ARE YOUR INSTRUCTORS QUALIFIED? Our teachers have received their education from prestigious institutions such as Yale University, Julliard, Berklee College of Music, NYU, and more. Our instructors have performed with Enrique Inglesias, Jermaine Paul, Lori White, Candice Accola (Hannah Montana/Vampire Diaries), Benjamin Verdery, and Madai (Pitbull). Many of our instructors have gone on performance tours of the US and have over 25 years of professional performance and teaching experience. In addition to their teaching credentials, our teachers have warm personalities, are extremely friendly and strive to get to know each student and their parent on a personal level. GUITAR LESSONS/BASS GUITAR LESSONS (for ages five and up) Our guitar teachers teach rock, blues, metal, country and classical guitar lessons on electric and acoustic guitars. Beginner students can expect to work on chords, simple songs and melodies, sight reading and theory. We use tablature, chord charts, and standard notation. We balance musicianship and fun by making sure that in each lesson you are challenged with a new technical or theory concept, but always end with something fun such as your favorite riff or song. We use a variety of guitar method books to accomplish this and encourage students to bring CDs or their iPod to their lesson to learn their favorite tunes. PIANO LESSONS (for ages four and up) Our piano teachers teach a variety of styles from classical to popular music. Whether you want to learn Beethoven, 21 Pilots, Coldplay, Billy Joes, The Beatles, or Alicia Keys, our teachers are happy to help you become the pianist you want to be. Our piano faculty will show you the fundamentals of sight reading, technique and theory, but they will also incorporate your favorite songs into your lessons. You do not have to have a acoustic piano at home to take lessons. A simple electronic keyboard will suffice to get you started. Our piano teachers have warm personalities and enjoy sharing their love for the piano with you. DRUM LESSONS (for ages four and up) We have the most professional drum lesson rooms in New Windsor, sound proofing and Roland/Yamaha drum kits for students to use. Our drum instructors teach rock, metal, jazz, funk, blues and many other styles. Drum language can be complex and our instructors will challenge any drummer with a wide variety of technical exercises designed to improve your speed and comfort. All drummers bring in their favorite drum parts to learn in their lessons and theory is encouraged. We have many drum students who play in local bands be it in rock clubs or their local churches. You do not have to purchase a drum kit to take lessons. Beginning students can learn with a drum pad and sticks for only $25.00. Students use our drum set at their lessons and do not have to bring anything except their drum sticks and a notebook. VOICE LESSONS (for ages 7 and up) Our voice teachers primarily focus on popular music. If you have always wanted to be a better rock, pop, country, jazz, gospel, musical theatre, classical, or R&B singer, then we have the right voice teachers for you. Voice students spend time each week doing physical exercises to improve their vocal range, ear training, breath control, vibrato, tone production, enunciation and more. All voice students set goals with their teacher to work on sounding like their favorite recording artists, or if they prefer, to develop their own unique voice. STRING LESSONS (VIOLIN, VIOLA, CELLO) (for ages 6 and up) Our string lessons are for both acoustic and electric instruments. All techniques are offered in the lessons such as how to properly hold the instrument, arco and pizzicato styles, sight reading, intonation, double stops, vibrato, harmonics and musicianship. We welcome students who want to study classical style, rock, and pop. WOODWINDS (for ages 8 and up) We offer Clarinet, Saxophone, and Flute lessons. We recommend students starting these instruments at the age of 8. Earlier than age 8 a student typically does not have the lung capacity and strength to handle these instruments. Our Woodwind teachers are proficient at teaching these instruments and if a student starts on clarinet and wishes to switch to saxophone they can stay with the same instructor. Our instructors have university degrees and performance experience as well as have public school music teaching positions for many years. Many of our woodwinds students take group lessons in school but want that one on one attention to further advance their playing. |
