Group Music Classes

Classes can be joined any time, and your first month of classes can be prorated if you start mid-month. Whether or not you have had prior musical experience, it is recommended to start with at least one private lesson so that you can be prepared and placed in a group class appropriately.

Tuition for a single group class is $45 per month. A "month" includes 4 sessions. Discounts stack up fast if you take more than one class or have more than one child in True Song classes! (See the page: "Discounts & Policies.")

​Check our Facebook page @truesongstudio to keep in the loop about one-time classes (such as songwriting and recording intensives) and free events (such as open mics and concerts).

Song Bugs "Song Circle" Class
​Mondays, 10:00-10:40am

For ages 0-5 along with their parents/guardians. Song Bugs is a national movement Danika founded after becoming a mom and creating a bright, touchable music method for the littlest of learners. In this ongoing Song Circle class, students dance and sing while the songs themselves teach music theory principles such as scales, dynamics, and rhythms. In addition, each week there is a new featured symphonic or world instrument for the little ones to touch and see played. Discover more about Song Bugs at www.songbugs.com.

Hybrid Musical Motion (ages 2-4)
​Mondays, 10:45-11:25am
Tuesdays, 9:30-10:10am

It's Tumbling, Yoga, Dance, and Music all wrapped up in one hybrid course. Classes take place outdoors, whenever weather permits (in the case of rain/snow, heat, or cold, they'll be indoors). Unlike our other musical training-driven classes, this one places its emphasis on physical skills instead - balance, coordination, rhythm, beam/barre/tramp/floor - the movement is accompanied by songs that teach the motions. Parent participation is encouraged. This class is billed by 11-week sessions. Inquire for info about joining in one of our current sessions.

Singer-Songwriters & Studio Musicians, ages 12-17
​Schedule TBD, starting late spring 2019

Do you feel you have a song inside that only you can bring to the world? It's time to get it out there in full splendor. This class gives you the simple tools you need to create your music from scratch, from conception to production. Over time in this class, you'll learn how to write lyrics for music and music for lyrics, how to create song forms and chord patterns, and how to make your songs catchy, powerful, and heartfelt. Each time the class writes a full song, we take the piece to production and record it - each student adding their voice or instrument to be heard.
SOME PREVIOUS MUSICAL EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED.
Students may join this class as a singer-songwriter or just as an instrumentalist who is interested in learning and contributing to the production process as a "studio musician."
