What's New?
As we head in to the third year at our new location at 623 River Road, we're looking forward to a number of exciting new things for the 2011-2012 school year.
As we do every summer we will be improving and upgrading our facility. This year we will upgrade the sound proofing on our drum rooms, in addition to the usual aesthetic improvements of a fresh coat of paint throughout the studio, a new door on the back storage closet as well as some other fun touches we're planning on to make our studio look and sound it's best!
New Programs
This year the focus is on Ensembles! Performance Band, String Band and Jazz Band. As we've grown, many students have grown with us. It's time for our intermediate and advanced players to join groups, practice together regularly and perform!
To help prepare our students better for recital performances, we are starting a Complimentary Master Class on the third Friday of each month. Students can perform one or two pieces and receive feedback and encouragement from one of our teachers in a friendly, low-pressure environment.
Starting in July 2011, we are adding a new class to help adult professionals who need to speak publicly and need some guidance and coaching. Our Public Speaking for Professionals uses acting techniques, self-esteem and confidence building to help the apprehensive public speaker. One on one sessions are available. We've also added a new class for 4 and 5 year olds, Intro to Music and Drama, which offers 45 minutes a week of age appropriate fun instruction for beginner musicians and actors.
Finally, we get many inquiries each year about our faculty's availability to perform at weddings, parties and events and we've done many, though we've never promoted it. This year we want to let you know that if you are hosting a party or any type or size of event we can provide the appropriate classical, popular or jazz musicians to perform at your party, wedding or event!
