It is time to do what you love!
The Adult Program at ISM is designed for adults of
all ages, whether you are beginning lessons for the first time,
refining your advanced skills, or coming back after many years away
from lessons. At ISM, adults study music in a supportive atmosphere
that facilitates the process of learning. Our experienced faculty
has the patience and expertise to work with adults in many areas,
including technique, note-reading, rhythm, theory, and
interpretation. Their encouragement helps students develop the
necessary basics in a fun yet challenging manner. Repertoire is
based on a variety of musical styles in order to enhance enjoyment
and maintain interest. Many adults have found that learning to play
a musical instrument is a stimulating, challenging and rewarding way
to relieve stress and be involved in creative and recreational
activity. Our programs and classes are conveniently scheduled around
the average adult's busy schedule. Daytime, lunch hour, evening and
weekend times are available. Adult students can choose from an array
of learning opportunities: private instruction, classes, ensembles,
workshops, performances, and recitals.
