Children's Show Choir

Private Lessons
We believe that private instruction is the best way for anyone to learn how to play an instrument or to sing correctly. The one-on-one instruction means that students are given instruction that best suits how they as an individual learn. Private lessons also mean that they are able to learn the type of music they personally are most interested in. Also, with private lessons a teacher can focus 100% of their attention on that one student to ensure that things such as hand positioning, posture or understanding of a particular concept are correct. This means faster progress.

You're welcome to start your private classes any time of the year or month so there's no need to wait to get started. We offer 30 minute, 45 minute and 1 hour lessons. Our music teachers have university training in the instruments that they teach. We teach students from beginners to very advanced. A variety of styles are taught such as pop, jazz, rock and classical. Contact the school office to see which times and days are available. If you don't see your instrument listed, please let us know as we're always updating our services.

Children's Music Chorus

Preschool Ballet & Tap (ages 3-5)
This class is an introduction to dance where children will learn the basics of ballet and tap. The primary goal is to foster a love of movement in each child. Several fun and creative activities happen in each class. For example, a scarf dance at the end can facilitate the dancer's own physical expression. Taking part in dancing out a narrative helps children to understand that dancing is a means of communicating feelings and actions. The vocabularies covered are all steps which a 3 year old can master and will build self-confidence. The vocabulary is also set up to prepare students for future training in ballet, tap, or jazz.
