Small group classes or private lessons with instructor Rebecca Sacks give your budding musicians the tools to sight-read melodies and rhythms more easily, to really get excited about and better understand the music they’re learning in instrument lessons (and elsewhere!), and to try their hand at crafting their own pieces and arrangements.
Think theory is boring, difficult, or too much work? Think again! Rebecca keeps classes and lessons interesting with the right mix of singing, hands-on activities, written exercises, and rewarding composition assignments to teach rhythm, melody, harmony, and notation. Want to really dive into those composition assignments? Join us for Rebecca’s composition lessons!
But besides being fun, theory and composition classes help students truly appreciate the music in the world around them. They progress faster in the study of their instrument, ensembles, orchestra, and choir. They become more confident, empowered, and creative as they learn to engage with all types and genres of music. They strive to learn, enjoy, and create even more than they thought was possible.
Here’s what parents are saying about music theory classes…
“Rebecca Sacks’s Music Theory class has been transformative for our eight-year-old son. Through melodic and rhythmic solfege exercises, he is learning to sight-sing and conduct. He is even writing his own eight-bar compositions! Ms. Sacks gives warm attention to each participant and keeps things challenging yet fun. If you have a musically-inclined child, we highly recommend this class as a rich compliment to lessons—or on its own!”
