Class Descriptions

MASTER CLASS. An individual lesson with a master teacher where a student presents their polished piece. After their lesson, they will observe the other student lessons. Parents attend this class, taking notes on their child’s lesson so that the assignment for each day will be understood and they can help their child prepare for the next day’s class.

READING ENSEMBLE. Students become more familiar with the written language of music while experiencing group ensemble work.

TECHNIQUE/REPERTOIRE. Students will bring back old songs we worked so hard to perfect in lessons past. We will prepare them for performance. Pieces must be performance polished. See repertoire list below for song lists.

UKULELE. Students will learn to play or enhance existing knowledge of the ukulele. Instruments will be provided for class use.

ENRICHMENT. Each participant also participates in two enrichment classes. This is an opportunity to learn something new or broaden our experience. For description of classes, visit our Enrichment page.

Full-day students will be enrolled in Arts & Crafts and Dance.
