MUSIC PROGRAMS
COMING SOON
Take 1 Academy's Music program's goal is to ignite and inspire children to play and appreciate music. Children are innately born with musical abilities. Take 1 Academy's Music program's intention is to develop children who can can express themselves musically and enjoy music on a deeper level for a lifetime.
The benefits of learning how to play music are many. Children who have incorporated musical self-expression as part of their life often see increases in IQ, language development, spatial temporal reasoning, improved sound discrimination, fine motor tasks, enhanced creativity, emotional/social development, confidence and determination; benefits that not only help them in the arts, but also outside of music such as in sports and in school.
Beginning Music I
Percussion - Ages 8 and up
Our beginner's percussion classes are a great way to introduce music education to your child and to begin building their musical foundation.
Beginning Music I is appropriate for children with zero or little musical training. Children are naturally drawn to percussion instruments which increases the chances of igniting their interest in playing music. Utilizing percussion we will learn to read notes, rhythms and pitches and start making music right away. Percussion instruments are instruments that you can strike, scrape, or shake. The ability to create music while standing and moving also feels very natural. Take 1's Beginning Music classes set the mental and technical foundation for children to move onto other instruments.
Beginning Music II
Percussion & Piano - Ages 8 and up
Our beginner's percussion classes are a great way to introduce music education to your child and to begin building their musical foundation.
Beginning Music II builds upon what was learned in Beginning Music I and introduces group piano instruction. This class requires some basic music reading skills that are taught in Beginning Music I. More advanced reading and ensemble skills will be developed utilizing a wider range of percussion instruments and piano. After completing Beginning Music II your child's musical understanding and foundation will be strong enough to allow them to pursue a multitude of other instruments in their school's band or orchestra programs; or to join us in our Take 1 Music Ensembles.
