MUSIC
WHY STUDY MUSIC THEORY? LEARN the language of music
Music Theory is the study of the building blocks of music, including harmony, melody and form. Music composition develops a student’s ability to use musical language skills learned in theory classes and apply them to their own compositions — learning to communicate musically as a composer.

WORD OF MOUTH
Word of Mouth “Our private lesson teacher is just a really, really good teacher, which is rare. She’s professional, friendly, totally dedicated to her students and CONSTANTLY thinking of how to best engage her students with music. We are so grateful to have her.”
“I was really impressed with the variety of projects that the teacher selected and the quality of work that came out of the students. She also shared good tips with the kids that my child was excited to tell me about after the class. Thanks for a great session!”
“I love this school. The staff is knowledgeable and kind. The registration and check in processes for the camps was well done. During covid they adapted and made having fun at camp still possible. My kids love these camps. They are creative and well organized. I've probably attended ten summer camps and four music classes for my kids. Definitely a positive experience and place to be.”
