Beginning

Group Class for Children is designed to give children as young as 3 years old an excellent start in their musical life. APAM’s focus is first to naturally cultivate a love of music in every child and to foster an understanding of music second. Therefore, musical concepts will be introduced in a fun way using the Dalcroze method - music education through body movement. Every activity is designed to teach a musical concept through multi-sensory approach - aural (listening and singing), visual (reading, recognizing symbols and notes) and kinestic (movement and games).

Individual lessons are offered to those who want undivided attention to learn and deepen their understanding of music. In this program, students will receive individual instruction about technical skills and appreciation of music on their chosen instrument and in voice using Ms. Anna Poklewski’s unique philosophy of teaching. This program is available for all ages.

Classes include Music Appreciation for Children, Music Appreciation for Adults, Improvisation and more. Also offered are Certificates of Merit. Visit the website for complete offerings.
