The ability to read music can enrich your life. With this knowledge you may feel more comfortable joining a singing group, helping your children with their music lessons, taking your own music lessons, or simply appreciating the music you listen to. We will cover all the basics of note reading, including the musical alphabet, the staff, bass and treble clef, note values, rhythm, and meter. You will learn about major and minor scales, sharp and flat key signatures, common chords, and how to create harmony. We'll also look at (and listen to) great composers, such as Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, and Tchaikovsky. Please bring a notebook and music staff paper to the first meeting.

Please note: Some courses may have an additional materials fee payable to the instructor that is not included in the total fee. Please contact the school for details.

Please be sure to read our Refund, Transfer, and Withdrawal policy before registering for a class.

A $6 registration fee is charged once per person per semester. This fee helps fund scholarships so that all can participate. The fee does not apply to courses of $15 or less.
