Nurture The Joy Of Music In Your Child
Nurture The Joy Of Music In Your Child
PHILOSOPHY
The most important element of music education is to discover and nurture a love and passion for learning. I aim to provide a positive atmosphere that facilitates creative musical expression, playful exploration, and cognitive structured learning through voice and musical instruments.
During our lesson time together we'll cover topics including (but not limited to) improvisation (making up songs), the ABCs of music, note reading, and ear training.

WHERE:
https://projectartwimberley.org
I’m very excited to announce that
*ARTSPACE by projectART Wimberley
has generously invited us to share their beautiful newly opened gallery space!
(Previously The Sugar Shack)
The performance will be held on the covered open air patio, unless it’s too cold in which case we’ll move indoors.
Commonly Asked Questions For Students:
What Should I Play?
In the upcoming weeks we will select a song or two (depending on length) from the list of most recently practiced and strongest songs.
What To Wear?
Something comfortable and warm. We will be outside unless the weather is too chilly in which case we’ll move indoors.
Can I Use Music?
Yes! 🙌🏼
What If I Have Stage Fright?
It's ok, I still get nervous before performing, its normal! This gathering of family and friends is a great opportunity to feel those nerves and do it anyway! I promise you'll be supported with love and applause no matter what, mistakes and all.
Space is limited so please let me know asap if you can make it and how many people you’re bringing so we can plan accordingly. There’s a chance we may not have enough seating so you may want to consider bringing a folding chair or something to sit on.
I look forward to celebrating your kids and the music they have been creating this season!
❄️
Warm regards,
Sarah
