Everyone on staff at Revolution Music School is passionate about music and is dedicated to making learning fun! The teachers are excited about sharing their knowledge with students! Revolution Music has created an environment that allows students to be self-expressive and creative while learning the fundamentals of music education. Students are exposed to all genres of music including jazz and blues, classical, and contemporary. For certain instruments, group lessons are offered in addition to private lessons. Learning is fun with a friend! Parents have a direct line of communication with their child’s instructor. Parents are encouraged to ask questions and be knowledgeable about what their child is learning. When teacher, parent and student all work together as a team, the student becomes a successful, confident musician! At any time, parents are welcome to sit in on a lesson. The U.S. Department of Education lists the arts as instruction students should take, stating "Many colleges view participation in the arts and music as a valuable experience that broadens students' understanding and appreciation of the world around them. It is also well known and widely recognized that the arts contribute significantly to children's intellectual development."
