Why Study Music?

Research has found that music lessons reinforce language arts comprehension and improve spatial awareness and brain function. Music helps children develop life skills such as discipline and dedication.

In addition to the numerous non-musical benefits that music lessons afford, Music Preparatory School students discover how fun it is to share music with their friends and family throughout the year. They develop greater confidence and self-reliance through realizing what they can achieve. They unknowingly pave an avenue for artistic self-expression that will continue to serve them well beyond their study.

Instruction Type

Instruction is available in both group lessons, private lessons or Kindermusik! All lessons take place in the Tabor College Wohlgemuth Music Education Center.

Private Lessons

Private lessons are 30 minutes in length and occur once/week. Students work one-on-one with a teacher who customizes the students’ pacing. Goals are set for repertoire, technique and performance opportunities.

Group Lessons

Group lessons are 60 minutes in length and are a great way to begin piano lessons. They offer a highly engaging and cost-effective way to learn the instrument. Students benefit from built-in motivation through peer learning, frequent opportunities to practice performance skills, and an interactive environment that fosters musicality and friendship.

Kindermusik

Powerful learning through musical play, join the leader in early childhood music development!

Music gives the brain a complete workout, and research tells us the earlier we put all the brain to work at once, the better. That’s where Kindermusik comes in– we provide joyful, engaging activities to promote school readiness, lifelong learners, and a more confident, kinder generation of kids.
