INSTRUCTORS

Music is a language and has been proved time and again, historically and universally, to speak to all ages, races, creeds, and generations.  An indisputable fact, music as a language is a learned auditory skill, carrying with it many elements of the intellectual, creative , communicative, interactive, and spiritual processes.  Of all the learned disciplines, music is the most comprehensive in its affect on the brain development, especially in young children.  Looking at the natural and effortless way that young children learn to speak their mother tongue, we can learn, with exacting measure, the processes that the human brain learns music - precisely the same way!  The Whole Art Approach TM gives children of all ages the opportunity to learn music in a natural, easy, and whole manner, just as they learn their spoken language.  Above learning the language of music is the developmen of fine human beings, through love, patience, and consistency.  This concept alone continues to be the prime focus of our teachers at the DaVinci Center.

 PIANO
The Whole Music MethodTM allows students to experience the joy of playing by ear, improvisation, creating original music, music reading, and understanding music on an analytical level. Our instructors are trained in Suzuki and Traditonal methods. We teach Piano classes for ages 3 & 1/2 thru Adult at both studio locations, as well as area preschools, offering the young students, ages 3-5, our Piano Playtime program.  Piano offers an excellent foundation for every artist.  (Ask about our Keyboard Karate program)


JAM SCHOOL
Participate in supervised rehearsals with students of all experience levels, creating a well rounded band for live performances. Seasoned professional musicians teach guitar, drums, keyboards, vocals, & violin.  Music styles include Rock, Blues, Country, Jazz, Funk, any and all positive music influences. 


VOICE
The DaVinci Center applies the WHOLE MUSIC APPROACH TM to private and small group singing lessons. The student will gain exposure to a wide variety of music including opportunities for improvisational singing, harmonization and performance skills.  Beginning students are taught vocal technique including breathing, articulation, expressive communication, and stage presence. Advanced students build on this foundation and enhance their strengths and individuality.

 VIOLIN & GUITAR LESSONS
Using the Whole Music Approach, students learn quickly, and enjoy the experience of the stringed instrument, gaining confidence in fingering skills, ear training, sight reading, and improvisation. (Ages 3-Adult)

PIANO PLAYTIME (Ages 2 1/2 to 6)
Broomfield Location
Piano Playtime is a 30 minute class structured specifically to introduce preschool aged  children to piano basics, musical tones, rythyms, visual geography of the piano, song and movement. This Whole Music class will engage your child's innate interest in music and his or her ability to learn music as a language.
