Piano begins

Piano is starting next week at Bruno. I still have a few spots left so please email if you are interested at imaginationsmusic@bellsouth.net.

I believe that out of all the extra-curricular activities, MUSIC is the most important to your child. Music study touches every area of your child's development and it provides your child with a hobby they can enjoy for a lifetime. In piano lessons at Bruno, we have in depth discussions on theory, mathematics, history, culture, and development of patterns as well as music. Last year, each student from preschool to upper elementary researched and composed research papers about lesser known composers. Our recital program was designed by the students in Microsoft Word as a computer project. They also researched music and the Fibonacci sequence, learned to set up algebraic equations in relation to music theory, and studied fractions in music. The students performed a recital at the Shelby Ridge nursing home as a service project.
