Lessons in Piano,Voice, Guitar, Violin, Drums, Clarinet, Theory & Composition
Standing Ovation Music Studio
We offer private lessons in piano, voice, guitar, bass, drums, clarinet, theory, composition and songwriting.
Coaching is also available to organize, arrange and complete an Artists Performance. Learning to play an instrument is very important to a child’s development. Our goal is to teach performance repertoire and nurture the artistry within each pupil.
We specialize in preparing our students, whether it be to audition for the local show choir, band, orchestra, NYSSMA solo, play or to audition for college and pursue a professional music career! Once you start down a path of musical studies the possibilities are endless. Students have different learning styles and interests. It is important to acknowledge and build upon their strengths as we foster musical skills and knowledge. It is our responsibility to help each student develop an appreciation for all styles of music. With many different performing opportunities available… for example an “All Broadway Theme Recital” or a “Beatles tribute”, we expose the children to styles of music they might never stumble upon on their own! Our studio presents a minimum of six recitals each year ranging from theme recitals; holiday shows and classical NYSSMA prep recitals.
These performances are filmed by a 4
camera video crew and mastered into a fabulous DVD. Our adults participate in a wonderful presentation performance that is so inspirational!!! Some of our students donate their musical talents weekly at St John The Baptist Catholic Church. Every Sunday, four children play
music for the 9:15 and the 11:15 children’s masses.
Over the years, we have seen our students successfully take the stage of numerous venues from recitals, school plays, principal chairs in performance ensembles and competitions, Television, Broadway, Operas and professional recording contracts. The list of achievements
are wonderful and gratifying!
The most important goal we strive to achieve when a student commits to our musical program is that they will learn to read music and play the chosen instrument forever! We know from personal experience that being involved in music has a powerful and healing effect. It brings joy and happiness to your life.
Music brings people together!!!!!
So many times I meet adults who tell me as a child they played the piano, flute, violin…etc. But now they cannot play or read a note!
Here at Standing Ovation Music, we are prepared to teach, nurture and impress upon each student that music is a gift that will continue to grow and bring fulfillment for many many years!
