Musicianship Program

View detailed class information here.

Taking a holistic approach to music education, we look beyond training focused on a single instrument and instead seek to instill all aspects of musicianship in our students. We encourage K-12 children to join one of our choirs, orchestras or bands so they may embrace the thrill of performing, as well as participate in our musicianship classes, which are designed to inspire and enhance a student’s understanding of music. A wide range of options are included in our customized, comprehensive sequential programs.

Musicianship is a key element of learning any instrument. Our musicianship classes provide instruction in areas essential to a student’s musical development, including notation, theory, sight reading, improvisation, composition, music technology, and more. Hybrid classes are available, allowing both online and in-person attendees an equal opportunity for participation. Our musicianship offerings include:

  • Musicianship Program and Classes: 5 sequential, age-appropriate levels that deepen students’ understanding of music

  • Composition Program: Students explore fundamentals of constructing melodies and harmony as well as different instruments and approaches to creating their own music

  • Group Instrumental Classes: An opportunity for students of guitar, piano, chimes and handbells to learn together with peers
