Dance Works School of Dance and Music believes that private instruction is the best way for anyone
to learn how to play an instrument. The one-on-one instruction means that students are given
instruction that best suits how they as an individual learn. Private lessons also mean that they are
able to learn the type of music they personally are most interested in. Also with private lessons a
teacher can focus 100% of their attention on that one student to ensure that things such as hand
positioning, posture or understanding of a particular concept are correct. If a student has a particular
difficulty in one area, the teacher can work on it without hampering the progress of a class of
students and alternatively if a student is excelling in one area, the teacher can move on. We offer 30
minute and 1 hour lessons. Our music teachers have university training in the instruments that they
teach. We teach students from beginners to very advanced.
Piano and Keyboard Lessons
Our schools offer piano lessons for students of all ages and abilities from beginners to very
advanced students. We offer every style of piano lessons from classical to jazz and pop. We have
students who want to play just for fun and students who excel with the most advanced material. We
start piano lessons from age 5 onwards. Before age 5 we recommend our group preschool music
program. Our piano lessons are all private one-on-one instruction and lesson lengths are 30
minutes or 1 hour. While our piano lessons are all private, parents are more than welcome to sit in
on their child’s lessons.
Voice Lessons
Our voice lessons are all private on-one-one instruction. Students sing all kinds of music from their
favorite artists to classical arias. Our voice teachers all have a university degree in music
specializing in voice and sing everything from pop and jazz to opera. Our teachers all have
performance backgrounds as well. Just a sample of what a student will learn in singing lessons
includes how to breathe properly, how to increase their range, proper pitch, how to project and stage
presence. Our schools offer several optional performance opportunities each year with our
Christmas Show and Summer recital just to name a couple. We provide a professional
accompanist who rehearses with the students and plays for them at the recitals. Many of our
students also perform at local festivals.
Guitar Lessons
Our private guitar lessons include acoustic, electric and bass guitar. We teach guitar lessons in
everything from rock to jazz, classical to pop, Spanish to chording. Many of our teachers actively
perform in bands. Our guitar teachers have college or university music degrees so they know the
proper theory and technique no matter if a student is interested in metal or in classical. No matter
what type of guitar lessons you are interested in, we have the teacher to help you. Typically a student
would be 8 before starting guitar lessons, due to their hand size, but some younger students start
with a junior sized guitar.
Preschool Music Program
Our preschool music program is a fun, interactive group program for children ages 3 – 5. In this
class they learn the fundamentals of music including rhythm, melody, notation and an introduction to
orchestral instruments. The class is 30 minutes long, one time a week. They will learn high – low,
loud – soft, pitch, major – minor, etc. For notation they learn how to recognize musical symbols such
as tremble clef, bass clef, half note, whole note, etc. (Much the same as learning your alphabet
before you learn how to read.) We also teach them how to recognize all the instruments of the
orchestra both by sight and sound. For example, by the end of the program they can quickly tell you if
the sound they hear is a trumpet or saxophone. The preschool music classes are taught by our
instructors with university degrees in music who love working with young children. The instructors
are patient, fun and very encouraging. The preschool music program prepares students to go on
into private instrument lessons when they are older.
