The Kids Music Class
What Is The Kids Music Class?
When children display musical abilities, parents can feel unsure of the best way to promote their growth. The Kids Music Class is a set of guided activities that easily introduces several kinds of music making, including improvising and composing. The family emerges with a clear direction for future music training, and a sold foundation for enjoying music together.
Who Should Take This Seminar?
The Kids Music Class is for parents and their children to attend together. It is especially suitable for parents who are looking for music education that encourages creativity instead of using rigid methods, and for children who have displayed a musical interest and aptitude. Jeffrey's instruction works simultaneously with all instruments, all skill levels, and all styles of music. The age range for children is 6 and above.
How Will You Benefit?
Most music instruction is limited to playing music from the written page. The Kids Music Class addresses a much wider array of options, which creates a satisfyingly rounded experience. The seminar acknowledges your child's individuality, encourages your child's creativity and exploration, provides guidance about your child's potential, and provides objective means to measure your child's affinity for various kinds of music making. And your family will enjoy a fun, positive, and inclusive community experience.
A Message from Jeffrey
"Most music instruction only partially addresses the whole musician, and it often consists of the slowest and most difficult way of learning. There are other options that you should know about. Check out Lesson #5 on the One-Minute Music Lessons page."
