Philosophy:

As music educators, we believe that meeting the needs of each of our students in the key to a successful learning community. Our students possess a variety of skills, personalities, and learning styles. We believe that by varying our teaching methods, we are better able to meet the needs of all our learners. Our lesson designs utilize a variety of media in order to speak to students in their unique learning styles. Students will read materials at their appropriate level, as well as in their primary languages whenever possible. Students will work at their own pace while learning to play instruments in order to meet the needs of students at all musical levels. Music is a universal language with which all students can make a connection. We are committed to having an engaging classroom for our students in a positive learning environment.
