What you'll learn in music classes:

Voice lessons

The good thing about singing is you can do it without other instruments. Our voice lessons allow students to choose their own songs. Our instructors will help them identify their own unique style of singing. We find it important that during voice lessons students should learn the fundamental voice techniques, posture and proper breath control, singer's health, singing clarity, projection, etc.

Ukulele

Ukulele is great for learners who are eager to start making music right away. It has just four strings compared to a guitar's six, so managing chords becomes far easier. Your child could be playing basic songs after just thirty minutes of training. He or she will need more time to really master the instrument, but they'll get an immediate boost in their confidence.
