Program
Students will begin to learn on the Soprano Recorder (Baroque fingering). They will learn to read rhythmic notation and pitch notation on the Treble Clef Staff. Learning to play the Recorder increases fine motor coordination. As students progress they may later be introduced to the Alto Recorder. At L.M.J. Music we teach Theory and Technique alongside of learning individual pieces, emphasizing the fundamentals of music. Also, exploration and creativity are encouraged. Students explore music on their own and make up their own. Students learn to play for fun, learn at own pace, and acquire fundamentals of music, and skills for further use, understanding, and enjoyment of music.
Students attend regular lessons once a week. Students are enrolled in lessons during the school year from September through June. Lessons are held on weekday evenings from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. all year round. Other arrangements may be possible. Options are available for students wishing to pursue their studies during the summer.
Our teacher Lisa M. Jones has been teaching since 1993!

The program has been in existence since 1993. We are growing rapidly and we strive to always maintain a personalized and friendly atmosphere.
It is a fun learning environment and our teacher Lisa M. Jones will help share the gift of music among every child.
It is required that students have their own plastic Soprano Recorder (Baroque fingering) to practice on at home.
