EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS

Where can your child express himself creatively, explore and learn through music and movement? Harmonia School! Imagine That! We foster the development of 3 and 4 year old child’s growing independence and vivid imagination through a unique blend of music, movement, literature and pretend play through group piano, violin, theatre classes and pre-K summer camps.

MUSIC THEORY

Music theory is essential to understanding the structure and form that exists in the pieces that musicians learn and perform. Students will learn in-depth instruction in the areas of ear training, melody, harmony, rhythm, form, and expression. Although parents often believe that theory and musicianship courses are college level studies, the sooner students begin to acquire essential music skills, the better they will be able to understand and appreciate more fully the music they are learning.
