Method and Style
At Park Slope Music School we believe you can build solid skills in music while playing music you love. We have a deep appreciation for all styles of music. We love taking requests from students for music because we know if students are inspired, they will be more motivated to practice on their own. We always work to adjust or create an arrangement that sounds great and is at the perfect level for the student. If students don’t know what kind of music they are interested in, we help them explore so they can find what really ignites their passion for music.
Our teachers integrate theory into the music students are already playing to make it relevant and easy to understand how music works. This makes reading easier and gives students the freedom to improvise or write their own music. We use technology and other fun tools such as music staff feltboards, rhythm frogs and animals that sing pitches of the scale to help teach and quiz on everything from note names, to rhythms to ear training. Changing the activity while still working with the same material is a great way to master information while keeping it engaging.
Each lesson is tailored to the individual so that each student can address their individual challenges, work towards their musical goals and move at the pace that is ideal for them.
