Musicianship for Kids!
Whether you are studying piano, singing, guitar, violin, tuba, or drums, learning how music actually works will help you play better, have more fun, and even help you with sight reading, and songwriting! In this fun and creative class series, kids will gain hands-on (zoom online!) experience with rhythm, reading notes, key signatures, intervals, scales, chords, sight singing and more with games, quizzes, and interactive activities with their instrument and/or voice.
