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.
