Teaching Methods and Philosophy
Music is a language that children can learn naturally in the same way they learn their spoken and written language. By placing emphasis on the quality of listening and playing music, we ensure that our students learn to love music as part of their everyday life. By using our unique methods of teaching, we also encourage our students' physical, artistic and intellectual development and enhance their self-confidence and self-esteem. We develop a special program for each child based on their individual needs making sure that learning is always fun and interactive.
All students are encouraged to participate in open recitals twice a year. Some students may also participate in competitions, MCMTA events, MSMTA Festival, and/or MSMTA High School Piano Examination.
