Mission statement
1. To let our students learn to love music.
This is most likely to be accomplished when they are allowed to choose
their own learning speed and style. Harmony Road Music Courses are
uniquely designed to facilitate this sort of learning. We will provide
the environment, and the musical foundation, and we expect our students
to give us the very best they are comfortable giving. Music should
first be loved, and later mastered. Students will achieve in areas they
love.
2. To foster group and family bonding opportunities.
Another of Harmony Road's unique strengths is the focus on
relationships. Group dynamics should be developed within your classes
similar to that of a sports team. We should use positive peer pressure
to encourage each individual to excel. It is often the strongest groups
that promote the strongest individual accomplishments.
We understand parents do not have unlimited time to spend with their
children. This class time should be seen as more than just an hour out
of your week. This is invaluable bonding time, creating a mutual
interest. Take advantage of this 'free' lesson for you. If your child
sees you enjoying and learning music, they will emulate your
excitement. A patient, involved parent is an invaluable asset.
3. To provide professional musical training.
A competent teacher becomes a role model for the next generation. We
recognize the need for teachers who are experienced and trained. A good
teacher is difficult to come by in any discipline. We are committed to
acquiring and training skilled teachers who value the Harmony Road
approach.
It takes time to build any successful program. We expect over the next
several years to build a strong name for this program. We want our
students to be recognized for their musical abilities. Our advanced
program is very small at this point in time, but with strong teachers
and strong groups I fully expect the next few years to produce some top
quality musicians. There is so much potential for us!
If any aspect of our program is not living up to your expectations of
professionalism, we will be happy to take your feedback and work to
correct the problem.
