Why do we offer music? To enrich our students’ lives.
Not only does music relieve stress and make you happier, but learning music also helps students, regardless of age, to develop the left side of the brain (related to language and reasoning). Researchers have found that learning to play a musical instrument can enhance verbal memory, spatial reasoning and literacy skills. Therefore, playing an instrument makes you use both sides of your brain, which strengthens memory power.
We believe that learning music should be playful. The more you love to learn, the more you’ll want to learn. That’s why our courses are accessible and enjoyable, encompassing more of music’s magic. We know this will make you a more complete musician, and a more enriched music lover.
Our courses are comprehensive and connected, designed to develop well-rounded musicians by including and integrating seven complementary facets of music: Tunes, Etudes, Exercises, Reading, Improvisation, Hearing, and Theory.
Every course includes immersive, imaginative learning material in the form of instructional videos, Shedding Sessions, audio and backing tracks, and downloadable notation pdf’s. And with all the learning tools you need – including a tuner, metronome, notepad and inspiration board – your experience is practical, playful, and pitch-perfect.
