Piano

Students love playing the baby grand piano at the Sounds of Joy Music Studio. It strengthens their fingers and they get to hear themselves making beautiful music during their very first lesson. 

There's plenty of room in the studio to stretch their arms and legs and release all the tension in their their hands and shoulders to create that totally awesome piano posture. 

We teach ages 5-85+. 

For our younger students, we have risers for the piano bench so that their arms are above the white keys and can push down the keys with ease. Plus, we have a footrest that keeps their feet  from dangling in the air.  This helps them recognize what they need in their practice space at home so they can experience long lasting love and energy from playing piano.

We even have a table top surface with high chairs where we play music games, and compose rhythm patterns with a variety of learning manipulatives. No two lessons are the same around here.  

All learning materials are printed in-house and is included in the annual supply fee. Each music student brings their own 3-ring binder with inside pockets.

An itemized invoice and receipt will be issued each month or per lesson depending on your music lesson package  chosen.

Parents are welcome to attend the first three or all of the lessons. We have a special sitting area prepared for you. There are no toys for siblings but there is room for them to bring their own toy and play quietly in the sitting area. The props and costumes in the studio are strictly for the music students.

For online students, depending on their age, Parents will need to attend every lesson.

Now, you want to go over to the Piano page that will tell all about the actual "lessons" and how much fun we all have together learning music, composition and playing piano with backing tracks. 

Voice

Some students take both piano and voice lessons and that's a swell of fun that just continues for a quick passing hour whether taking online or in-person.

Voice students will have their own cushion chair with music stand as they learn to sing from a sitting as well as a standing position. 

Some students are actually learning to play piano for themselves while they sing songs they've composed themselves for family and friends.  Of course, this takes time, effort and dedication to acquire such wonderful achievement,  but oh, so worth it all.

It's best to start younger voices learning how to prevent vocal injury as they dress up in costumes and  learn funny (and purposeful) songs.  The holidays are extra special as we gather a repertoire of favorites to sing for family and friends during festive events.

Voice students will also learn music elements to read music to decide for themselves if a song is what they'd like to work on - or not.  Every song has its assets and liabilities and we help our singers build confidence by working through even their most challenging areas of a song.

The majority of materials are printed in-house for a nominal monthly fee that covers paper and ink.  Each student brings their own 3-ring binder with inside pockets to store their materials.

Now, it's that time for you to go over to the Voice lessons page to see what all truly happens during a lesson at Sounds of Joy Music Studio. 

Songwriting

Students are encouraged to explore all their desires to create music, whether it's for their personal enjoyment, worshiping God or for sharing with others.  

In the other music lesson packages, music composition will be explored and experienced by all to varying degrees for both online and in-person students.

This particular Songwriting course is all online at your own pace and convenience and requires no prior knowledge of music.  You don't even need an instrument to take the course.

This online course, called the "BrainPower Music Society" is prepared especially for the non-musician who knows little to nothing about music and doesn't desire to become a performer or recording artist or be heard at all except for their own personal enjoyment.

Non-musicians can now experience the same brain reorganization and networking as well as the opening of neural canals that full-time musicians do.   Non-musicians can experience the transformational value of music in their lives beyond listening to the radio or going to a concert.

Well now is that time to jump on over to the Songwriting lessons page to see what truly happens during an online lesson at Sounds of Joy Music Studio and the "BrainPower Music Society".
