There is no pressure - choose only activities that you like. Our goal is to make studying music an enjoyable experience – the gift that will keep on giving your whole life.
Music Theory, Harmony and Composition
This course is dedicated to stimulating creativity and deepening understanding and appreciation of
music. It is also a part of our Academy’s complete music education curriculum. The knowledge of
harmony will allow students for a greater insight into the repertoire they study,
thus making their practice time more fun and efficient.
Compositional games and techniques will stimulate their creative powers and encourage creation of
original pieces of music. In short, music is a foreign language that your child is mastering. To be fluent at it, they not only have to be able to read it (play notated pieces) but also speak in it
(write and understand how music works) - that's the objective of the course.

"Disney Tunes" and "Road to Broadway" Group Voice Programs
Everybody loves to sing. Especially kids. We can help them find their own tune. We are offering two group voice programs—”Disney Tunes” (for 8-9 years old) and “Road to Broadway” (for 10-12 years old). At these one hour weekly lessons students will learn the foundations of good singing technique, including proper breathing, singing in a relaxed, natural fashion with their voice. They will also learn basic musicianship: how to follow a piece of music even if they don't read music; basic note names and rhythms, and musical symbols. In addition the students will learn easy harmonies, and how to sing as a member of a group (listening skills). At the end of the program the students will have a graduation recital. The size of the groups is limited to 8 students. Please contact us for days and times of the lessons.
Ear Training
Many people associate musicians with "playing by ear", being able to improvise
or recreate a melody once heard and being able to play it on the piano. We all
know that a good ear is a must for a good musician. Ear training course will
enable students to hear much deeper, recognize chord progressions, allow them to
play and transcribe the melodies that they just heard and will increase their
musical perception and awareness immensely.
Music History / Music Appreciation
We have special programs for young musicians and
for adult music lovers. We'll be listening to music from different time periods,
get familiar with composers and their lives. We'll find out how music that we
now call "classical" was being formed, what were the first reactions of people
to what we know consider "masterpieces". We'll discuss the sonata and other
major forms in music so that the listener is more aware and understands the
music better.
Instruments Exploration
Unsure what instrument to choose? This program gives you an opportunity to try
piano, violin, guitar and flute. Learn the history of each instrument, listen to
the famous performers and try playing. Then decide.

chamber music setting. We have an electrifying repertoire that
