Music

We are a great choice for your child's music classes because of the well-rounded foundation we provide with all of our courses. We do not teach for one project or piece of music but rather foundational skills that enable students to continue to build on the foundation long after they have discontinued classes. Current research has demonstrated that both the left and right hemispheres of the brain are being used during music making. The brain of a newborn is a jumble of neurons. There are critical periods during which the brain is wired.

Group Music

Modesto Academy uses the Harmony Road Music™ curriculum for our group music piano classes. We chose this curriculum because of its well-balanced approach. It combines listening, singing (do, re, mi), creating, reading and playing music (rhythm instruments and piano). Our individual and dyad music lessons also include listening, creating, theory, reading, technique and performance. We want your students to enjoy learning to read, play and create their own music. Most of our music instructors have university training in music instruction. Modesto Academy also offers other group music classes such as Group Guitar, Singing Stars, and Holiday & Spring Choirs.
