Class Offerings

In case you haven't visited the main website, check out www.SoliDeoGloriaMusic.com

Since you are here, Soli Deo Gloria Music is offering three group classes as well as individual lessons. Here is a brief outline of what each class entails:

General Music: Presently, this class is for any children in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades and will include singing games, instrument playing, basic music reading skills and introductory composition!, and world music. There will also be elements of music history and music appreciation, but the bulk of the class will be focused on creating and enjoying music.

Vocal Music: The voice is the most basic and natural instrument of all, and everyone has has one at their disposal! The vocal music ensemble will provide singing techniques to protect this precious instrument, and learn how to use it within the context of a group of other singers. Learning how to balance one's own voice in with a group of other unique voices is a valuable skill that any musician should possess. This class is currently offered for students in 5th-8th grade and will culminate in a performance.

Instrumental Music: This is the class that makes the SDG Music program unique from other non-traditional music programs! We do offer private instrumental lessons, but recognize that there are many wonderful and skilled instrumental teachers in the area. Many of these instruments are best suited within the context of an instrumental ensemble, however. Playing trumpet in your bedroom by yourself is a wonderful place to start honing techniques, but absolutely nothing can match the personal experience of learning to sensitively play in respect to other musicians... Or the sensation of goosebumps as you hear how your harmony blends perfectly with the other brass to complement the woodwind and percussion sections. The ensemble and private lessons are offered for any student in 4th-12th grade on flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, French horn, baritone, or percussion.
