Learning music is not just a matter of having a qualified teacher, but also an environment that is focused on music education. Our experience – and likely yours as well – is that in home lessons , while convenient, results in poor progress and meager results. Simply by being at home, kids mentally shift into an out-of-school mindset that makes motivation and concentration difficult. In a professional school environment a student cannot be distracted by T.V., pets, ringing phones, siblings or anything else. With only ½ to one hour of lesson time per week, a professional studio can produce better results since the only focus at that time is learning music. In a studio environment, the lessons are not just a hobby or side-line for the teacher, but a responsibility which is taken very seriously. Our school is located at 162 South Main Street, New City NY 10956.
