Musicianship Skills

• Enhanced Listening - Playing together requires more refined listening to sing in time, in tune, stay balanced, and blend sounds as one unit.

• Variety of Styles - Playing a variety of classic to modern songs is an important part of appreciating and experiencing all music.

Social Development

• Making Friends - Being in a music group means sharing a common passion for music. Meet other young musicians and make life-long friendships.

• Team Work - Each musician has an important role. Working cooperatively together is a crucial part to putting it all together and having fun!

Performances

• Sharing the Stage - Learning group performance skills and sharing music with others is important for confidence, team building, and the sharing the joy of music! Having a performance date also gives a timeline to achieve the goals set.

• Community - Music ensembles may have the opportunity to perform in the public. This gives participants an opportunity to learn outreach and give back to their local community.

School Assemblies

Little School of Music is offering FREE Assemblies to teach students “The 4 Laws of Focus” at elementary schools across the Santa Clarita Valley.

Our “edutaining” music class will combine familiar musical instruments, styles, and live music into a challenging discipline that is great for developing both physical and mental focus.

Qualified music instructors will get your students movin’ and groovin’ in an energetic assembly designed to introduce students to the basic elements of music, it’s history, and some of the traditions used in performances. The assembly will also show students how to improve performance in both music and academics by learning and applying the “4 Laws of Focus.”

Be on the lookout for Little School of Music coming to your school!

Rockschool Recorded Exams

On September 21st and 22nd Little School of Music will be offering FREE recorded Rockschool Exams to help students with their submissions. All you need to do is come prepared with your instrument, cables, music, and tracks, and we will take care of the rest.

Music Creators Course

We are super excited about the launch of our new Music Creators Course! This will include a collection of classes to help young budding music creators make and keep their own original music (even without any musical experience).

The Music Creators Course is a collection of music creator sessions each with a variety of classes taught by different Instructors. The purpose is to encourage collaboration among staff and students, as well as individual creativity through project-based learning. 

Classes will meet during the same 12-week session term and include some overlap by design. The classes should work together to teach the skills needed to achieve the final outcome/goal as a tangible project. 

The first session is called SONGMAKERS.

Learning Platform

This summer we are testing the new online Learning Platform with selected students. The Learning Platform includes:

• Specific assignments set in the platform by the teacher

• Guided at-home practicing to help with student progress through real-time analysis of pitch and rhythm as they play along

• Built-in metronome and tuner

• Remote virtual learning designed for music instruction

• Recorded lessons
