Individual and Group lessons

Musical Playground

Did you have music classes when you were a child? Remember wishing that you could be playing with your friends instead of being in a lesson? 
Traditional lessons are often not very much fun because they focus on reading music. 
Students are not invited to experiment, play many instruments, or make music with friends.
It is you, a teacher, an instrument, and a BOOK.

Music is a Language

How do children learn to speak?
We listen and “play” with words to build our vocabulary as we interact with others.
Only after this do we learn to read and write.
In the Musical Playground your child will become musical
* Listening  *Improvising *“Speaking” Music.
By the time students are reading and writing music, they are already fluent!

Simply Music

“The only type of music lessons I had in the past were piano lessons - regimented and strict. A.L.M.A. was completely the opposite. It was amazing how much freedom we were given and the amount of stuff that we learned! My group picked up the basics of music theory quickly. Soon we were playing lots of songs and planning our next recital. We were productive on the days when we needed to be, and yet still allowed to make fun music and relax.”
