Program Offerings at TESSI

TESSI offers a complete musical curriculum for children ranging from the first exposure to musical activities at early ages, to beginning instrumental lessons, and through to advanced skill levels in high-school (and adults too!).

Whether study of music is simply a hobby or a student is considering a career in music, we can help students reach their goals, and develop a lifelong appreciation for music-making.

Performances are a major practice motivator while learning to play an instrument, and help to build character and confidence in the student.

We place emphasis on both solo and group performance, such as piano duets, guitar ensemble, and other combos.

We schedule at least four formal public recitals each school year, and are often involved in other local performances when opportunities arise. Students have a performance goal to work towards at all times.

Talent Education Is:

¨ Environment and Listening  —  From Age Zero

¨ Learning in a Positive Environment

¨ Repetition and Accumulation

¨ Learning With Parents  —  The Suzuki Triangle

¨ Learning From Other Children

¨ Small Steps and Learning by Playing a Shared Repertoire

¨ Learning to Read Music

¨ Every Child Can

Observers Welcome !!

We are very happy to have parents and families come to observe classes and lessons to get a first-hand look at  how things work at our school.  All we ask is that you contact us first so that we can coordinate with you on scheduling so you may observe appropriate sessions for your needs.  Thank you for your understanding.

We encourage parent involvement in all school activities!
