  • Our priority is instilling students with a love for music and the tools to succeed!

  • Our piano, voice, and guitar teachers emphasize healthy technique and work with all students on ear-training, sight reading, and music theory.

  • Parents are welcomed and encouraged to attend their child’s lessons so they can help their student practice at home.
  • We host two recitals each school year term so that students can gain performance experience in a relaxed setting.
  • Our choir directors teach singing technique, harmony, and vocal collaboration. Students are taught a diverse repertoire and have the opportunity to perform multiple times over the school year.
