Welcome to our music studio
The principle central to our method of teaching is that the student is not a container that needs to be filled, but rather a light bulb that needs to be turned on. So, first and foremost We teach my students how to think, not what to think.
Our approach focuses on giving a student two opposite and alternating sides of musical study — first exposing them to practical ‘tools’ that they can keep in their ‘toolbox’ forever. We turn to an alternating principle, the understanding that feeling is knowing. Then alternate again. Repeat. In the end, most technical skill and analytical thinking is for one purpose – that is to sharpen your senses, after-which one no longer needs to always be conscious and knowing of the tools.
Our background in intense study of technique and different styles of music making combined with this two-step approach allows me to offer the student many tools that enhance sensitivity to sounds, and promote efficient work flow, There is nothing more rewarding for me than making a student aware of their gifts and understand how to nurture them going on, making my ‘job’ obsolete. We teach serious music students privately in the Thornill area. Contact us for more information.
Congratulations!! You have decided to pursue lessons for your child. It’s a smart and healthy choice, but where do you begin to get information and how do you choose the right music school. We are here to help you gather the facts that you need to make a decision that’s right for your family.
- A music education does not come cheap. Lessons are expensive, however, when taught by a qualified professional the rewards and end result is well worth the price. Therefore, do your homework. Insist that the teachers are educated in their field and are qualified to teach your child. Anything less should be unacceptable to you.
- Do not be swayed by “eye-appeal”. Music can be well hidden with a lot of mindless noise. “Yes… the package looks beautiful but let’s open it and see what’s inside.” For this reason, it is not recommended that a student chooses and dictates where they want to go or what they want to learn. Children and teens are far too young to make such an important decision. A child that learns by curriculum taught by a highly educated professional will have the ability to play anything they want simply by applying the right tools.
- We are professional & educated musicians who have achieved high educational standards.
- We may NOT be for everyone. We are strict in structure, discipline and commitment. Our teachers have very high academic expectations of their students. Children who are hard working and eager to advance their music education will definitely excel in this establishment. It is not for students who are lazy, make excuses for not practicing, constantly missing classes, never arriving on time, disrespecting their teachers and refusing to follow instructions. These students will be asked to leave and another school will be recommended to the parents.
- And finally…get involved in your child’s music. Encourage them to practice, praise their efforts, involve them in school talent shows, attend their recitals, reward their achievements. All of these things are motivational to a child. Don’t let them give up. Teach them the importance of commitment. A child is less likely to quit if the parent is involved in their progress.
- DID YOU KNOW THAT MUSIC…..makes kids smarter, improves confidence & self-esteem, improves academic results, stimulates the creative part of the brain, increases awareness and energy, relieves stress and prevents insomnia, has long term benefits such as helps to prevent Alzheimers and Arthritis. (enough motivation for mom and dad to learn too!!)
- A CHILD WHO STUDIES MUSIC IS….78% more likely to stay in school, 45% more likely to make the honour roll, 62% more likely to excel in Math & Science, 55% more likely to be a high achiever in life, 85% more likely to attend University, 52% more likely to be socially popular and well liked, 68% more likely to stay out of jail…and here is the most important!! 90% more likely to be happy with their life!!
