HOW STUDIO LESSONS WORK
First, we make the lessons relevant to the student by incorporating the songs they know and love.
That’s why we teach songs beyond the 19th century:) Don’t get us wrong, we love us some Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and Debussy, but most kids want to learn Imagine Dragons, Taylor Swift, AC/DC, and Joan Jett too!
Traditional Fundamentals
Think of it as a hybrid of traditional lessons with a modern approach. On the traditional side, students learn to read notes on the treble clef and bass clef, and how to read rhythm notation and dynamic markings in sheet music.
Modern Approach
Our modern approach focuses on reading chord charts, improvising, and playing in the context of a band. Best of all, students get to pick songs they want to learn, and our instructors format the song to the student’s skill. Both methods are essential and complement each other as the student progresses.
Second, our program is designed to address the biggest problem music students have - difficulty practicing at home.
Many children dread home practice for one reason: It takes too much work. Even when they like the material! If they don’t understand it, they won’t practice it. There just typically isn’t enough time to practice with repetition or to drill those tough parts in most music lessons. It’s true of most music schools in the U.S. There is just so much to do in 30 minutes.
At Up Tempo Music Lessons, we are solving this problem once and for all.
