Each student gets an individualized plan and is encouraged to do more than the minimum to develop personal excellence.

Discipline

Lessons and Recitals are well structured to teach seemly behavior, boundaries and develop strict adherence to rules & order.

Problem Solving

One facet of the lessons teaches students to identify problem areas and explore solutions.

Time Management

Customized practice planners with quantization values guide the student to plan, prioritize and time manage their practice each week. These tools will help students learn the importance of sacrifice.

Goal Setting & Achieving

Specific daily goal assignments teach the student how to achieve larger weekly and annual goals through small steps. Students learn how to work effectively and efficiently toward achieving the best and productive results.

Critical Thinking

Live performances, "how to" lessons, and a specialized music reading program require tangible and intangible mental processing, which develop analytical thinking skills.
