Aria Music Academy Mandarin Music & Play
We offer children and parents the opportunity to learn the beautiful Mandarin language through the ease and fun of music making while strengthening the bond between parent and child. Children will learn basic Mandarin vocabularies, instrument exploration, object manipulation, active listening thru Chinese
folk songs and traditional Western melodies sung in Chinese. This program will benefit families who would like for their children to learn Mandarin as a second language, or families who want to encourage their children to practice and retain proficiency with their mother tongue.
Aria Music Academy Kindermusik
Kindermusik is a music and movement program. Each week in class you’ll play, listen, and dance to music that will impact you and your child in profound ways. That’s because every song, story, and two-step has a carefully chosen purpose in this creative curriculum—one that’s designed to stimulate and strengthen the vital neural wiring taking place in your child’s mind, right now. A Kindermusik educator will guide you every step of the way so you know how each activity contributes to your child’s overall growth and development.
Aria Music Academy Private Lessons
Our goal is to cultivate/nurture a love for music in all our students to helthem develop into well-rounded musicians with strong technique, excellent listening skills and thorough knowledge of music styles. We will help each student to develop his/her full potential into a functional musician in all areas of music (sight-reading, technique, theory, transposing, improvising, performance, etc.) In addition, we hope to help foster a love of music in all of our students, and to help create an interest or curiosity that will encourage the student to want to learn.
