sfk music academy
In addition to our first rate dance program, our music academy offers a wide range of music options for children ages 5 and up.
private lessons
Private lessons give the student the opportunity to learn at their own pace so they don’t miss key points. This also means that the teacher does not have to teach a class at a middle-of–the-road level, but has the time and focus to work on the individual student’s strengths and weaknesses. For that lesson period, the student is the primary focus of the teacher. For that reason, we recommend no more than 30 minute private lessons, to keep our students engaged, and excited to learn.
voice
7 Years & Up
*Ages 5 -6 would do a VOICE + PIANO combo lesson
We offer instruction in various styles from rock to classical, jazz and pop. Students will learn proper breathing technique, how to increase their range, music theory, proper pitch, ear training, how to project, and stage presence. Equally as important is building up their self-confidence, to make them strong performers and individuals. Class time can also be used to prepare for upcoming auditions to a play, show or to prepare for a performance. 30 min, $175/mo
*Due to the physical nature of voice lessons (proper breathing techniques, development of the vocal chords and lung capacity), 7 years old is recommended as the youngest age for private vocal lessons.
But we can do 1/2 voice, 1/2 piano lesson for ages 5 - 7yrs.
piano
5 Years & Up
Piano is often regarded as the mother of all modern instruments. On piano, students can immediately learn note reading and apply the music theory concepts learned from their Music FunTime class! Our curriculum empowers students to play a variety of fun musical pieces right from the start. Piano is recommended for students 5 and up, as it is an easier instrument for younger students to get started on. Knowledge of piano provides an excellent foundation for students to pick up other instruments later on!
30 min, $175/mo
**Please specify Piano or Voice (or combo for ages 5-6years in 'notes'**
private lesson policies
THANK YOU for studying music with us! Our teachers reserve time on their schedules, plan lessons, and invest in the long-term development of each student. To provide regular, quality lessons we ask that the following policies are observed. We want every student to receive every lesson. We love hearing our students become better musicians and we want you and your students to enjoy making music as much as we do.
-
Tuition is billed automatically every month to the card you have on file and includes one lesson per week. This will secure a recurring weekly time on your teacher’s schedule. Most months will have 4 lessons. Some will have 5 and some will have 3 (during the holidays). This does not affect the monthly rate.
-
Tuition is not adjusted for missed or canceled lessons. Need to miss a lesson? No worries! If you need to miss, your teacher will create a personalized video lesson during your scheduled time. Consistency is so important. We use LessonMate video lessons to keep everyone engaged and informed even when they miss! *We do not offer in-person makeups for missed classes
