Philosophy

Philosophy & Methodology:

A key tenet of our teaching philosophy is to get students to enjoy making music, building a comfortable environment where students can enjoy themselves while learning. Part of the goal of music instruction should be motivation and getting students to enjoy practicing. Through exploration of music theory and instrumental training, entertaining repertoire and collaboration with the instructor, students capture a sense of enrichment and place more value on music study.

We believe that everyone has a powerful need for creativity and a natural understanding of rhythm and music.

If nurtured, this can develop into refined skill and craftsmanship.
