MUSICIANSHIP GROWTH IN ALL OF ITS MANY INSPIRING COMPONENTS ... |
UPON ENTRY INTO THE STUDIO, EVERY STUDENT IMMEDIATELY FEELS THE MULTIPLE DIMENSIONS OF WHAT WE TEACH ...
Our goal is to encourage deep reflection on one's personal involvement with music. Underlying our studio's successful emergence in recent years has been its emphasis on Integrated Musicianship/Teaching and Development (IMTD). Our staff is unusually well-equipped to teach each student flexibly and comprehensively while relying on multiple subject expertise as the basis for the creation of individually tailored programs.
The challenges and rewards of energized discovery at every single lesson ... Every student has immediate access to a broad range of program resources...
- Keyboard and instrumental study (referrals available for all instruments)
- Instruction in all facets of musicianship including theory, history, ear-training, keyboard harmony, improvization, composition, soundscape geography (cultural fluency through music)
- Participation in a wide variety of public performances including competitive auditions
- Royal Conservatory of Music exams (RCM) and Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music exams (ABRSM) personalized coaching in conjunction with two international certification programs (auditions and examinations).
We are not just piano teachers. Our teaching is inclusive, comprehensive... more often than not, we are happily instructive also outside the "Bach, Mozart (and Beethoven) box"...
