Game Nights
Game Nights are a fun way to help reinforce concepts students are working on in lessons, meet their peers, and have FUN learning about music! Students are split up into groups based on ability. Older students that may not be as advanced are placed in "teacher positions" for the younger groups. Game nights occur at various times throughout the year, and are available to studio students only. Some game nights are organized to raise funds for studio expenses, and some are organized to take the place of holiday lessons (i.e. winter break). Game night activities include: singing, dancing, composing, music history stories, listening activities, crafts, music theory games, ear training games, and most always, treats are involved!
Teacher Training
Individuals looking for hands on teaching oportunities are welcome to the studio. Teachers in training are required to take an hour weekly lesson. The time will be used according to the student's needs and/or interests for teaching. Lessons focus on the fundamentals of music, and appropriate ways to teach those fundamentals to various ages and learner types. We will also discuss important aspects of owning your own business - if there is an interest. Student teachers will have the opportunity to observe lessons, assist with Game Nights, and assist with studio performances.
Zoom Lessons
All lessons are available via Zoom to students unable to travel to the studio. **Currently, all lessons are online due to the pandemic.**
