Welcome to Pappal Music!I am so pleased that you are considering music education for your child.Pappal Music offers a comprehensive music program beginning at birth and continuing through piano and flute study for students of all ages.
Research has shown that we are all born with an aptitude for music, but that aptitude diminishes if it is not actively nurtured between the ages of birth and nine.Musikgarten classes are designed to nurture the child’s music aptitude by engaging children and their families in singing and movement activities which help attune the ear, refine the voice, and develop a rhythmic body through which music can be expressed.Additionally, instrumental activities are part of the program, ranging from playing simple rhythm instruments such as sticks and drums for babies and toddlers to playing keyboards for older children.Musikgarten is the only program that offers curricula for newborns up through group piano instruction.It is based on a keen understanding of how children learn, in both a general sense and, specifically, how they learn music.
Pappal Music also offers private lessons in both piano and flute.Piano instruction is available to students age 5 and above.Beginner through advanced student pianists and flutists are welcome to enroll in lessons.Music instruction focuses on aural & oral skills, music theory, note-reading, disciplined practice, and performance ability.In private lessons we strive for a balance of learning and joy through the process.
As you familiarize yourself with my lesson and class offerings, I look forward to answering your questions and welcoming your family into my music studio.
