The Child Prodigy Series (“CPS™) is a nurturing and instructional music program that is geared toward preschoolers, ages 2-5. The program provides an early start to note reading, rhythm, and playing the piano. The program fosters the ability to

easily segue into private instruction on the piano, vocal, guitar, or drums.

The Child Prodigy Series (“CPS”) is a weekly, 30 minute educational and nurturing program, with a student- teacher ratio of 6: 1.  The program is structured, and learning activities flow smoothly, encouraging and enabling the attention and focus of the students. The facility is a large, colorful, upbeat and playful room, which hosts 6 colorful, ‘kids-sized’ baby grand pianos. The students learn to read notes, play the piano, and use the Dalcroze Eurthymics method for learning tempos and rhythm, using a plethora of percussion instruments and body movement. An electric keyboard is played by the instructor, introducing a variety of musical sounds, played to the same song, enabling the student to learn to differentiate different timbres (timbre distinguishes different types of sound production, such as string, woodwind, and brass instruments).


The program runs throughout the year, and parents sign up for one month at a time, with no limit for continuing in the program. Spots are limited, so early sign up is encouraged.  Priority is given to existing students in the program.   

       

Classes are held on Wednesdays, at two times, to accommodate both half day and full day preschoolers’ schedules:

 

                                            Wednesdays:  1:45-2:15PM and 6:15-5:45 PM                                                               

  Private Piano, Drum, Vocal, and Guitar lessons may be scheduled in 15-30 minute time slots.

Typically, students continue in the CPS for 3 – 6 semesters, and then add a 15-30 minute private lesson on the piano, drums, guitar, or vocal. During the time the students begin private lessons, they may continue with the CPS, until the student graduates from preschool and begins kindergarten. Once students have been taking 30 minute private lessons for a minimum of 3 months, students are then eligible to partake in “Note Bee Class” ™.  Note Bee Class is a competitive and fun class that rapidly teaches note reading, the understanding of basic to more advanced rhythms, and basic to advanced music theory. This class is held on Thursdays, from 5:30- 6PM.
