Kids Keyboards and Theory Games" with Orion Lackey, starting up on September 19th. This is a great class to learn not only keyboard and piano skills but the fundamentals of music through fun and interactive music games in a group setting. If you're on the fence on what instrument to choose for your young musician, this is a great way to get them having fun with music while developing skills that will help them with whatever they choose. This is also a prerequisite for Nick Taylor's kids class called "Groove Makers Academy" which will be starting up this winter. Nick's class will take the skills learned from Orion and be used for creating beats or composing original music with keyboards, singing, and other real instruments. Please help spread the word about these unique and valuable classes specifically designed for our young musicians who want to create and compose!!
Kids Keyboards & Theory Games
This musical group keyboard class will be facilitated by Orion Lackey who has over 6 years of experience teaching group music classes and one-on-one piano lessons. He will help the students in his class learn the basics of playing the keyboard as well as music theory through fun and creative musical games and activities. There will be 8 keyboards provided in this class (for in-class use) and students will learn how to use/explore various tones, scales, chords, music notation, improvisation, and composition. Students will gradually develop musical proficiency throughout this course and will have a celebration in the last week where students can have the option to perform.
