Music at the Beck Center for the Arts The music department at the Beck Center for the Arts will foster a love for music in students of all ages. From music classes to private lessons to our ensembles, students have many opportunities to explore the joys of making music. Our Early Childhood Classes are designed to introduce children from Birth to 6 years to musical instruments and simple music concepts that will encourage future musical growth. If your child is constantly singing around the house, enjoys pounding out rhythms on pots and pans, or if you are interested in having your child eventually take private lessons, we suggest they begin by enrolling in either Kids-N-Tunes or Dalcroze Eurhythmics. After taking Dalcroze, we suggest parents register their children for Instrumental Classes, Private Lessons, or Vocal Classes so they may continue to explore music making. Whether or not your child has taken Dalcroze, we suggest you consider our Instrumental and Vocal Classes and our Suzuki Violin Lessons for children.

Private Lessons Private lessons at the Beck Center for the Arts are offered to anyone who wishes to learn an instrument or to increase their ability on an instrument they are studying already. Our music staff is an accomplished group of instructors who have years of experience helping musicians of all ages discover their true potential on a wide variety of music instruments and in singing. Students may enroll at any time throughout the year. Instruction available at all levels for half-hour, 45-minute, or one-hour lessons. Tuition for 17 weekly half-hour lessons will range from $357 to $425 ($21 to $25 per half-hour), depending on instructor. Lessons may begin at any time and are prorated for the remainder of the semester. To schedule private lessons, contact the Music Office at 216.521.2540 x37. Registration Policies for Private Lessons Registration: Must be made prior to first lesson. Tuition and fees are due at that time. A registration form must be completed and signed by the person responsible for payment of lessons. Registration can be made by phone with payment by credit card. Lessons are prorated after the session begins. Cancellations/Absences: Contracting for private instruction obligates a student for the entire semester. All lessons must be paid for whether taken or missed. The Beck Center does not require instructors to make up student’s missed lessons. In the event the instructor cancels a lesson or a class, a make-up will be offered or a fee adjustment will be made. Refunds: After the third week, no refunds will be issued for the remaining lessons for which the student has registered.

Private Lessons are offered in the following: Brass (Ages 10 to Adult) - Offered for trumpet/cornet, trombone, and tuba.

At the Beck Center, Singing Lessons, or Voice Lessons are not offered for children under the age of 12. Our staff emphasizes healthy singing and having a child take Voice Lessons at a young age can be detrimental to their development as singers. As an alternative, we offer the Primary Choir and the Pre-teen Voice Class. The Primary Choir is designed to provide children 6 to 8 years the opportunity to explore singing in a group setting. For more information about this group, please read the description under Music Ensembles. The Pre-teen Voice Class is offered for students 10 and 13 years. This class is the perfect setting for students who would like to take Voice Lessons but are not yet 12 years old. Please read more about this class in the Youth Music Classes section. If you are interested in classes that will help the young singer prepare for singing in theater productions, please refer to the Theater section of the web site. For theater students looking for private singing lessons, our staff of vocal instructors

have years of theater experience and are here to help you reach your full potential. Contact the music office for more information. Group Lessons Group lessons are a good way for beginners to experience an instrument and work with other students who are also beginning their musical journey. In group settings, students develop rhythmic skills as well as improve skills of cooperation and peer interaction. See class options under Youth Music Classes on the schedule page and the course descriptions .

A NOTE FOR BEGINNERS When enrolling for music instruction, parents and students have the option of either group or private lessons. In private lessons, each student may learn at his or her own pace, and the teacher is able to focus completely on that individual student’s strengths and weaknesses. A child may change from group to private lessons at any time. The Suzuki Method combines a music teaching method and a philosophy embracing the total development of the child: “Character first and ability second.” Prompted by a nurturing environment of parental involvement where students listen to high-quality recordings and use repetition of step by-step mastery of instrumental technique, musicality, memory and reading. Parents attend lessons and direct practice at home. Choir Retreat Both choirs will meet for a night of singing, pizza, prize drawings, fun and games. This rehearsal/social event will help choir members prepare for their performances in December so attendance is expected. Students are encouraged to bring a friend not already in the choir! The spring date will be announced in February. Choir Performances The culminating performance of the first semester will be held January 21, 2012 with the spring concert being held on May 12, 2012. Additional performances will be announced by the instructor at rehearsals and in a letter that will be sent home with choir members.

Showcases All Music Department showcases are open to the public and held in the Music-Armory Building unless indicated otherwise. Adult Art Shares An opportunity for adult students to perform for peers in an informal setting. An Adult Art Share will be held on January th th 14 and April 28 .
