Jennifer Burton highlighted 6 benefits of group class in her Parents as Partners video, The Importance of Group Classes.
1. Building confidence: Students learn to perform with and for others in a safe and encouraging environment.
2. Review of old skills: We spend lots of time reviewing old pieces and skills which make learning new pieces easier.
3. Applying new techniques to old pieces: New skills such as phrasing, articulation, and vibrato are applied to old pieces we know well.
4. Builds ensemble skills: Students learn to play as a team and to blend sounds.
5. Explore alternate facets of music: Group class is used to teach new styles of music, theory, and music history.
6. Social aspects: Students as well as parents benefit from the social aspect of meeting each week to play with others.
If you are interested in joining a group class at the Adler Center, we currently have 2 group offerings:
