Musicianship classes both enhance overall musical education and support instrumental and vocal lessons. These classes are designed to give the student an enhanced love and understanding of music to last a lifetime. Theory classes provide a solid foundation for understanding the language of music. By learning about scales, chords, and musical notation, you'll be able to read and interpret sheet music with ease, enhancing your overall musicality.
