The Marcus Center for the Performing Arts offers music instruction for children ages 3-17 and will be designed to fit each student’s unique musical interests. Basic musicianship, reading sheet music and developing enhanced listening skills will be taught. As students advance, instruction in classical and jazz repertoire, improvisation, composition and specific pieces/genres requested by students & parents can be studied. For young children, music will be taught through singing songs, music and movement lessons, and rhythm & pitch musical games. They will perform with percussion instruments and have the opportunity to explore and play a variety of string and wind instruments and fun world instruments from different cultures. All students are encouraged to participate in the student recitals to share their talents with friends and family.
