OTMS Curriculum
Low tech instruction
We teach the way we have been taught – and the way musicians have been trained for hundreds of years. We are passing down a tradition that emphasizes the relationship between the musician, the instrument and the notes on the page.
One on one instruction
The instructors at Old Town Music School are the vital ingredient that goes into producing a confidence and proficient young musician. Their lesson time is focused on their progress, answers their questions and encourages them when they need to hear they are doing great!
Small performance classes
One of our fun curriculum elements is the performance class where we teach the protocols of a real-live music recital. The kids are happy to be together, sometimes a little nervous and we make it fun with contests and games and prizes! Besides the sheer enjoyment, simulating the recital helps them bee even more confident when it is their time to shine on the stage.
Professional recital space
The Lyceum in Old Town Alexandria is a historic recital hall that provides our young musicians with the opportunity to showcase their hard work for their families and friends. We have long held that the recital is an important component in their development as musicians and competent young adults.
Music brightens every smile – and a young musician’s soul
