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. Knowledge of harmony offers students greater insight into the repertoire they study, thus making their practice time more fun and effective. Compositional games and techniques will stimulate their creative powers and encourage the 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 it (write and understand how music works) - that's the objective of the course. Knowledge of music theory greatly expands the musician's creative and imaginative horizons. The course also includes the study of Music Notation and Ear Training. Check out this video clip.

To practice at home correctly and get good results is always a challenge for any student. With the hybrid or online mode of teaching, it is even more important to have the correct and productive practice at home. All the parents and students, who previously participated in the supervised practice program, found it extremely helpful and useful. This program not only teaches the students how to practice correctly and learn the piece faster but often brings another pair of eyes to provide helpful insight. You can sign-up for just one session or all of them – your child will always benefit. Piano supervised practice is coming shortly.

The one-hour workshop will teach students how to use Hanon. The subtitle of this indispensable book for any pianist is “Virtuoso Pianist in 60 Exercises”. Becoming a virtuoso pianist in 60 exercises is not a promise – it is a goal. And you can achieve this goal – we will show you how.

Homeschooling families or organizations looking for a supplemental music program to satisfy homeschooling educational requirements are welcome to call the Sharon Music Academy to discuss courses that could be offered during the school year and in the summer. If you have a group of friends interested in music education for their children Sharon Music Academy can help you set up group music lessons where kids will learn music, and social skills and have fun.
