Studio Break

There will be no lessons from September 29 to October 4. All students will still receive 4 private lessons per month due to some months having 5 weeks. Any questions please email Yiyi.

Group Classes

Remember every month the studio offers a group class. These classes are optional and all students are encouraged to attend. The dates and times are posted at the studio as well as on the studio Facebook page; they will vary from month to month to enable as many students to attend as possible, so the same people do not miss out every time. Due to limited studio space, parents and siblings will not be able to participate in the group classes. The group classes are designed to compliment the private lessons; the materials covered will include aural training, music theory, technique, and musicianship skills. Students are also encouraged to play for one another to gain performance experience.
