Classes
0-3 Year Old
Mini Maestros! This age group may not be able to speak verbally, but they can speak through expression. Let your 0-3 year old express themselves, while learning discipline and locomotor skills through this wonderful Suzuki method driven class. The instructors will interact with you and your child through dance, movement, rhythmic instrument playing and singing. This hour long class of fun is great for building skills, along with independence and sharing. Feed their spongelike brains with music and watch what develops! Private classes and Zoom classes are available upon request.
3-4 Year Old
In this hour long class we teach the kids to read and notate music while playing a variety of instruments. Your child will learn steady beat, basic note patterns and melodic songs that lay out a great foundation for any type of musician. There is dancing and singing in an uplifting and positive environment. This class is a great way for your child to explore different instruments. You may just have a mini rockstar! Private classes and Zoom classes are available upon request.
Piano-prep Class
The Prep-piano course is a one hour class that introduces you to the piano. This class is geared for kids who have never had a piano lesson, but would like to check it out. Some children prefer a group setting verses a private lesson, where they can learn with other kids their age. Classes consist of 3-6 kids. No materials are needed as you will receive everything at the first class. Parents be ready to encourage your child and learn the basics of piano together. In class, your child will play simple melodies while learning the note names and reading music. Scales will be introduced through music theory games that we’ll play as a class. During the last class there will be a performance time, in which each child can play one of the songs they learned while in class. Private classes and Zoom classes are available upon request.

Music Theory
Music is the one subject that uses both sides of your brain at the same time. The reasoning is that your creative side is being expressive, but what is the logical side doing? A LOT! Music theory is full of numbers, formulas and counting. While reading notes, you are also reading rhythms, doing small math problems and possibly reading words for all those singers. It can be intense, especially if you don’t understand it. Rochelle has been a music theory specialist for almost 20 years and keeps this complicated subject, positive! Private classes are available upon request.
