Our Teachers Generally Make Theory A Part Of Beginner Lessons
Knowledge of music theory becomes more and more helpful as students progress in learning their craft. Understanding the inner workings of how a piece is put together can cut down on practice time (and frustration) thereby helping to master a piece more quickly and confidently.
Theory is not just about being able to read notes and rhythms, but about understanding the structure and musical flow (phrasing) of a piece.
Our teachers generally make theory a part of beginner lessons. As students progress through higher levels of study, separate theory classes are recommended. Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) requirements start at level 5 and students wishing to pursue music in university definitely need theory prerequisites under their belt!
Talk to your teacher early on in the year if you would like to take separate theory classes to complement your regular lessons.
Our Story:
The Manotick School of Music (MSM) opened its doors in 1991 and continues to provide musical instruction to students of all ages and skill levels in the Manotick area. In 2014, the ownership of the school changed hands and MSM students were combined with those of Musical Thought Studios, also located nearby in Manotick.
Today the strengths and talents of both schools operate as Manotick School of Music under the direction of Lisa Bing, founder of Musical Thought.
Our Philosophy:
Our goal at Manotick School of Music is to not only provide high quality music lessons, but to instill the artistic habit in all of our students and their families. Sure, taking music lessons can improve reading and math skills, concentration, self-esteem, and school grades…but there are also more personal reasons for studying music.
Time and again, music has been identified as a universal language because of its ability to speak directly to us without using words. The artistic habit is making room in our lives for these conversations.
Our teachers are all experienced, qualified, dedicated music instructors and professional musicians, each of them passionate about their art and eager to instill in their students a love of music. So come visit us here in Manotick and learn what music can do for you!
