One of the important objectives of Musical Arts Academy is to provide students with a more well rounded musical education. We encourage our students to attend group classes which are very beneficial in the development of their musical education. We are also giving students opportunities to perform frequently in front of audiences. This sets goals for the individual students and helps them to develop self-confidence.

Music is the form of art which makes our lives rich, enjoyable and complete.

GROUP LESSONS

THEORY

Our theory classes are based on Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) syllabus. The group classes are small in size to ensure that every student receives individual attention during every class as well as accomplishing some group work and writing exercises. For those who are not taking RCM examinations a knowledge of theory complements and accelerates the student’s progress.
Monday Beginner/Elementary
Saturday Intermediate/Advanced

HARMONY

Harmony is a deeper understanding of the music theory which involves a knowledge about chords and chord progression, melody writing and modulation. The classes are for students who are looking for accomplishing grade 5 RCM examination as well as for those who are interested in writing or composing their own music.

EAR TRAINING

This class is for beginner and elementary students. Ear training helps to develop strong musical skills like rhythm, recognition of intervals by listening and melody play back. Also this class helps to prepare the student for “Ear Test” which is a part of RCM examination starting from preparatory to grade 10. Teachers will meet individual needs of each student during every class.

MUSIC HISTORY

This class is for elementary, advanced and adult students. Students will learn the history of music from medieval times to the 21st century. Classes are held in the form of lecture that explains about music styles, musical forms, biographies of composers, and musical instruments through the centuries. There will be a different topic during every lecture which is not related to the previous lecture. Feel free to attend at any time.

CHAMBER GROUPS

We offer chamber group sessions for adults (18 years and over) and chamber group sessions for juniors (10-18 years). Playing in a chamber group is a great way to share your music with others and to have an opportunity to express special skills both musical and social. Groups are put together based on the level of the players. Elementary skills of playing an instrument are required. Players of any instruments and vocalists are welcome. Times for sessions will be decided upon enrollment. The sessions are one hour long. The groups will be encouraged to perform at the concert at the end of each term. Each student will be asked to pay for the term, which is approximately 7-10 sessions.

MUSIC FOR BABIES AND TODDLERS

We are pleased to offer music for very young children (1 to 4 years old) where they can learn in a friendly environment accompanied by their parent, grandparent or care giver. In the small group children will experience the joy of music through singing, rhythm games, movements and playing rhythmic instruments.During the class the teacher will encourage every child to express his or her individual music potential. Students can enroll at any time during a term. We ask a payment to the end of the term at the time of enrollment. The program includes 10 sessions on Saturday mornings at 9:00am. You can register now online with a credit card payment over the phone or in person during business hours.
