ACADEMY SUMMER, 2011 SESSION
Summer is a great time to devote to musical training and the Academy will offer private music lessons throughout the summer. Students who have worked on their instrument throughout the school year need to keep up their skills during the summer months so that progress will not be lost. Of course, we know that summer is family vacation time, so the Academy offers very flexible scheduling during the summer. The Summer, 2011 session will run June 13 - July 26. In addition to theMAGNIFICENT, MARVELOUS, MUSICAL MONDAYS described above we will also offer PRIVATE MUSIC LESSONSin piano, voice, and guitar performance. The Academy voice staff is available to give high school singers a head start on audition music for theTEXAS ALL-REGION / ALL-STATE CHOIRaudition process. KINDERMUSIK CLASSESwill be offered for children ages birth - seven years.

Kindermusik provides mommy and baby time - bonding, singing, improving motor skills, what could be better?
Over fifty years ago, Dr. Shinichi Suzuki, a classical violinist, developed a method of teaching children to play musical instruments in the same way that they learn to speak their native language. The Suzuki approach utilizes a collaborative effort of a "learning triangle" consisting of the student, teacher and parent. Children receive private lessons under the watchful eye of a caregiver. The caregiver, in turn, becomes the teacher during at home practice. Students come together weekly for group lessons to play in an ensemble setting with other students of similar age and experience. The parent's role in the learning triangle is to attend all lessons and classes with the child, and to serve as the "home teacher." The West Texas Music Academy offers both violin and piano training incorporating the Suzuki method. Rozanne Spires, trained Suzuki teacher will teach both private and class lessons. Call 432-614-1222 to enroll for Fall, 2011.
Paul Sanchez is available for guitar lessons. He has a degree in humanities / music and has several years of teaching experience. Call 432-614-1222 to sign up.
Young students can begin learning piano using the same Suzuki method that is offered to young violinists. Rozanne Spires is accepting students from age 5. Lessons will begin in the fall of 2011.
