GROUP LESSONS

Sunrise (2- 5 years old)
Sunrise is an exciting and innovative pre-school music program for children two to five years old. Children receive instruction in singing, rhythm, and ear training with teddy bears being one of the learning "tools". This specially developed music curriculum includes stories, songs, playing with rhythm instruments and games. Sunrise program is a non-keyboard based program which meets once a week for 30mins. The program runs in 10 week sessions. There is no parent participation required, although it is welcome.

Sunshines (3-4 years old)
This program, for three and four year old beginners includes large muscle experiences in beat and rhythms as well as fine motor experiences in rhythm instrument ensemble playing. By the end of the first year, Sunshines are playing in C major and middle C positions and are reading from the staff. Pre-reading experiences - such as like and different sorting, looking for patterns with colorful visual aids, gluing and coloring -- are part of the program.

Sunbeams (5-6 years old)
The program for kindergartners and first graders provides "big kid" lyrics to introduce concepts, finger numbers and keyboard geography. Songs and games are used to encourage and reinforce listening.

Moonbeams (7-9 years old)
For the older beginner, ages seven through nine, the program lasts three years. Our Moonbeams want "quick results" and the songs, ensembles and keyboard repertoire are designed to support their growing sense of independence. The listening activities for this age group keep the "ears open" even as reading becomes the primary focus for gathering information.

The program lasts from three to five years, depending on the age of the child, with each level typically consisting of 36 lessons. Tuition and materials fee are due at the time of registration. Three payments of $300 will be due on the first class of Fall, Winter and Spring. We are doing 3 sessions of 12 classes in each season. There is also a $140 one-time material fee which would cover all the materials through the whole year.

RECITALS

Student recitals will be held 3 times a year.

Therefore, we strongly encourage our students to participate in all the recitals.
