Our Approach to Kids Music Classes
GET STARTED01 Music Lessons Should Be Fun!
We know that an interest in music may be what first brings you into our school – but having fun is what keeps you coming back!
Here at Velocity Music Academy, our goal is for every student to LOVE their music lessons as they embark on a rewarding journey of progress and discovery.
We put the “fun” in fundamentals!
02 We Emphasize Healthy Technique
Healthy technique is critical to lifelong enjoyment of the piano.
Our first priority is teaching strong fundamentals, including hand, wrist and arm technique, bench position, and pedaling.
We believe that full-body instruction is essential to musicianship and safeguards students from injury.
