Music Education

We are now providing Music Education at Northern Hills Fellowship. Our mission is to educate students at all levels of studies from beginner to advanced, from children to adults, and to stimulate, nurture, and improve their techniques and skills to their fullest potential, either for future study at a College or Conservatory, or for their own achievement and enrichment.

Curriculum
We offer Private Piano lessons along with General Musicianship and Music Theory classes.

Piano lessons are weekly, conducted one on one with experienced and highly motivated teachers, and can be as short as a half hour, to a full hour in length, depending on the level of study. We welcome all interested students at any age and from any kind of musical background to enroll. We will also include some Music Theory in the piano lessons.

For those who are interested in learning Music Theory and Musicianship in more depth, we will also provide private or group Theory Classes which will cover solfege, harmony, and counterpoint, and will include studying keys, intervals, rhythm, sight-singing, dictation, and analysis, to enhance musical perception. Students will be trained to recognize what they hear through aural exercises. They will also learn to write music notes, and to recognize intervals and harmonies by sight — a skill which will greatly enhance the student's sight-reading ability.

When Music Theory is taken in conjunction with practical piano lessons, the student's musical growth will be greatly advanced.

Students are also encouraged to participate in the Royal School of Music Examinations every year to determine the succession of their levels of study. We also offer possible performance opportunities for students at Northern Hills Fellowship.

New students will have an interview to determine appropriate placement and acceptance into classes.
