Our Group Vocal lessons are a great stepping stone for children who are interested in entering Musical Theater, Choral groups, or just wanting to further develop their performance skills. We cluster students based on aptitude, ability, and emotional maturity so your child is at ease and fully engaged in all activities. These classes are for groups of up to 4 children in our Bridlewood Studio.

This program is about nurturing the transition to independent learning and engagement. Vocal development is a main focus of this class. We participate in engaging musical activities with focus on dramatic play and developing our singing voice. We continue to work on our listening and memorization skills. As we progress, we incorporate music theory concepts, note recognition and playing additional rhythm instruments. We will spend time on pitched instruments such as the desk bells, xylophone and the piano. In story format we introduce the musical note family and practice reading and creating rhythm patterns and learning solfège hand signs.
We will continue to work on our listening and memorization skills. As we progress, we will incorporate note recognition and playing piano, desk bells and additional rhythm instruments. Children love to be dramatic and with the Orff Approach we will add dramatic speech, singing, movement, and instruments of course. We begin with practicing body percussion and then we move on to learn more instruments. We will begin to learn on a Nuvo recorder as well add instruments such as hand drums to help tell stories and poems. This class will be invited to perform in recitals and enter vocal festivals.
Introductory to Elementary Music (6-8 years old)
This class is created to promote music literacy through active music making in a small social group. Many children have not had music class before or are wishing to become more literate prior to enrolling in private lessons. Classes will be filled with chances to sing, and move, time to play with improvisation, composing rhythm patterns and lyrics, in addition learning about music history and theory. We will create music every class and learn different ways to be more musical in our lives.
This program is about introducing the concepts of music taught through Kodaly and Orff philosophies. Many children find learning in a group setting more fun and engaging. Children learn proper vocal techniques and become familiar with solfege terms, singing patterns, and solfa hand signs. We will participate in engaging musical activities and developing our singing voice through singing games, canons and call and response songs. In addition, we will learn to read and write musical notes and symbols and introduce sight singing.
