WHAT PROGRAMS DON'T REQUIRE ANY PREVIOUS MUSICAL EXPERIENCE?
Four programs don't require your child to have any previous experience with music: Little Beats (ages 3-5), Bigger Beats (ages 5-7), Intro Series - Level I (ages 7-10) and Private Music Lessons (ages 6+).
WHAT PROGRAMS DON'T REQUIRE MY CHILD TO HAVE AN INSTRUMENT AT HOME?
Two programs don't require your child to have an instrument at home: Little Beats (ages 3-5), and Bigger Beats (ages 5-7). This also means you won't have to nag them about practicing!
HOW DO I KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR MY CHILD - A GROUP CLASS OR PRIVATE LESSONS?
If your child is a beginner musician and under the age of 10, we suggest trying one of our group classes.
Our group classes provide a really cool learning environment for kids that's both relaxed and fun. They also give your child the chance to jam with other kids, which will enhance your child's learning.
Rock Bands are in a category of their own and are the perfect thing to add on top of any instrument-specific group classes or private lessons.
Private lessons are great if you know your child excels when they have one-on-one attention and benefit from being able to learn at their own pace.
