Why should my child study music at an early age?
​
-
An exposure to music early in life helps children develop social skills and build confidence. It also helps make neural connections in the brain to develop memory and foster creativity!
-
Children enjoy learning and can benefit from attending recitals experiencing time with other students enjoying each others’ progress through lessons and classes.
Why study with MMA rather than at another school or just with YouTube?
​
-
At MMA students have access to a variety of highly qualified faculty helping students at all levels in many instruments
-
Students have the opportunity to attend and perform at professional quality recitals in a state of the art auditorium at no additional charge for student participation
-
MMA can schedule two or more family members at the same time or close to the same time with different instructors to make live face to face in person music lessons or online music lessons more convenient
-
By having music lessons live one on one with their teacher, there are no distractions so we can provide 100% individual attention to our students, answering specific questions and helping each student overcome any hurdles they may have. No two students are exactly the same, so we tailor lessons for each student to progress well at their own pace.
