Music Preparatory Division

The Music Preparatory Division offers music instruction to students of all ages, levels and abilities.  Private instruction students are matched with qualified, experienced teachers appropriate to their unique talents, interests and skills. 

Two courses of study are most appropriate for the pre-school-age child and young beginnerThe Suzuki Method, which offers private lessons in piano, flute, cello, recorder or violin, emphasizing aural development and sensitivity; and Musikgarten, which teaches children basic musicianship skills and ear training, and introduces keyboard playing. These methods share a similar philosophy in teaching the preschool student, by developing the whole child, by helping unfold the child's natural potential to learn, by encouraging self-discipline and concentration, and by promoting a lasting enjoyment of music. We offer private lessons year round. All of our teachers are professional, degreed instructors.
