LESSONS FOR CHILDREN
Get a head start
According to a study by John Hopkins University, children who study music are activated "mentally, physically, and emotionally." Compared to children who didn't participate, musically active students experience a boost in reading skills, memory, and mathematical ability.
Most importantly, music offers them an enriching avenue for self expression and it's never to early to start.
Young drummers will learn the fundamentals of rhythm and technique and build coordination while playing the music that exciting and engaging.
LESSONS FOR TEENS
STAND OUT
The National Association for Music Education noted that students who participated in music scored higher in every category of the SAT and ACT than their non-musical peers. Students that don't receive musical training miss out on critical development like the establishment of excellent work ethic, a sense of self-discipline and results-oriented goal setting.
Above all, music provides a consistent, reliable outlet for young people during a time in which so much is changing.
Teenage drummer learn and refine high-level technique, dive into complex rhythms, play in bands with other students, and prepare for college auditions.
LESSONS FOR ADULTS
INVEST IN YOURSELF
It’s never too late to learn an instrument, and research has shown that playing music, regardless of ability, has a positive effect on stress level management.
As an adult, learning a new instrument can seem daunting, but in some ways, it’s easier. Adults have the initiative, the desire, and the discipline, and they are better equipped to tackle complicated, abstract concepts. It’s surprising to see how quickly things make sense, and what there is to accomplish is limitless!
I.R. Guitar Lessons is unique in that nearly 50% of our students are adults. In addition to private lessons and group classes, we’re happy to offer our adult students opportunities to connect and play with other students and we often host get-togethers to help our folks plug in to our musical community.
