Children are natural-born musicians. They tap, stomp and hum before they even learn their first words. Mothers soothe babies with lullabies; children learn the alphabet through song. While all children develop different interests as they grow, music remains a constant. Music is expression, reflection, and exercise for every part of the mind, body and soul. It is a fundamental component of every child’s development, and can be awakened in a variety of ways.
Music in Chappaqua is a music school founded in 1993, aiming at harnessing a child’s natural proclivity toward music. Music lessons offer a supportive and individualized environment for a child to explore his or her musical tastes. The process of learning music is like that of any other study or sport. One must learn elemental skills, theory and history in order to contextualize a performance.
Besides private lessons, Music in Chappaqua also offers great opportunities for those wishing for a social experience as well. Rock Workshops provide students with a unique chance to collaborate to perform covers or original songs for each other and an audience. Performing in a band is like being on a team; each musician responsible for a different part of the whole.
For those who are interested in a more intensive ensemble structure, the New York Rock Academy is the camp for you. A branch of Music in Chappaqua dedicated to providing the best Summer Day Camp experience for the aspiring rock musician, the New York Rock Academy boasts a group of talented and hard-working campers and staff. Registration is now open!
What sets Music in Chappaqua apart from other music schools is that Music in Chappaqua is dedicated to developing a child’s skills beyond the basics. Music lessons become much more than just an after school activity, but actually create a lifestyle. The skills that one learns through music lessons such as discipline, patience and focus apply to any field a student pursues. A child who has a long-term commitment to music lessons will most likely retain that commitment through adulthood, and pass it on through the generations.
