Musicianship

Musicianship begins early to build the groundwork for instrumental study. It is recommended that all students without music background begin with musicianship. Fundamental musicianship skills learned during the year are: note reading of bass and treble clefs, time values and specific rhythmic patterns. Musical terminology is introduced, as is sight singing. It is thoroughly interactive.
