Classes taught as of August 2004 include private lessons in piano and strings, and small group instruction in piano or string ensemble.  We also offer homeschool discounts.

Because our desire is to offer a strong support for the homeschool community, other classes may be added, such as music theory, music history, band, church music, or Orff or Kodaly based elementary music if there is sufficient interest to fill the classes.  If anyone has any ideas, special requests or suggestions, we would be happy to consider them, and will do our best to accomodate your needs. 

If you know anyone who would be interested in these classes, please pass along our web address and phone number.  You can reach us at 214-331-0000 if you have any questions.

New Classes!

Beginning Violin:

Class description:This introductory course teaches the basics of violin playing, how to hold the instrument, proper playing technique, and reading music.  Dr. Mugur Doroftei has taught the violin to beginners for over 35 years, and has a special talent for creating in his students a love of music and of their instrument from the very first lesson.

Elementary Orff:
