Age Appropriate Learning:
Lessons are especially designed and curriculum is selected to maximize learning and appeal to individual age groups. For instance, manipulatives such as "Playdough" are used to reinforce theoretical concepts in preschoolers. Older students may use dry erase boards and flashcards. In either case we work to find the best means of conveying knowledge to each of our individual students by working to understand their unique needs and what learning methods work best for them.
Why Peer Group Learning?
The social elements of group activities are strong motivators for preschoolers. Children in elementary school also enjoy being part of a group. The group provides reassurance, the opportunity to learn from others, and exposes the student to a mildly competitive atmosphere that can encourage learning and practice. The net result of all our teaching methods are life long skills attained through fun and motivating means that encourage the student to continue down the path of music throughout the rest of their lives.
