Why Learn To Sing or Play an Instrument?
Increased Confidence
Taking lessons imparts a sense of control and mastery. Students feel and see progress as they develop musically and master their favorite songs.
Relaxed Social Skills
Music provides many opportunities for collaboration with other musicians. This collaboration and mutual love of music builds strong social skills.
Better Memory
Music requires us to think creatively, which according to science is essential to improving your memory skills!
Improves STEM Performance
Studies have shown that children who take regular music lessons on an instrument or singing, score higher in many subjects such as science and math!
Enhanced Co-ordination
Mastering an instrument requires a lot of physical coordination and finger dexterity. Studies have shown that same dexterity is found in doctors and surgeons!
Improves Reading & Comprehension
Music is often considered its own language! Students who study music often score higher in reading and writing.
Sharpens Concentration
Mastering an instrument takes time and dedication. When a student practices, they are able to keep their concentration longer and sharper.
Better Listening Skills
Playing music is not only a physical activity, but also an aural activity! Students create better listening skills by discerning chord progressions, melodies, and interpreting musical ideas.
Teaches Focus & Discipline
Mastering an instrument takes time and patience. Students learn how to set goals and handle setbacks in a way that keeps them motivated and focused!
Boosts Team Skills
Taking music lessons opens the door to many opportunities to perform in groups! Whether it’s to sing in a choir, to play in an orchestra, or to rock out in a band, students learn how to work together towards a common goal.
Training the Whole Musician
Learning to say what you feel
Songwriting Classes
Do you always have a song in your head, but don’t know how to write it down? Or do you want to learn how to write songs in a different style? Through structured improvisation, our teachers can help you find your voice, write captivating lyrics, and create beautifully structured chord progressions.
Learn how it all fits together
Music Theory Classes
Have you always wondered why music makes you feel the way that it does? How did composers such as Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven, as well as songwriters such as Elton John, Adele, and Freddie Mercury create such compelling music? In music theory lessons, you will learn the answers to all these questions by deconstructing and analyzing these great composers!

My teacher at Curtain Call Music is extremely talented. He loves music and shares that love with those he instructs. He came to our house in the morning before school which was incredibly convenient for a busy mom. I would recommend Curtain Call Music to all.

Curtain Call Music has great, flexible and inspiring teachers. Not only do they bring their knowledge but they bring their love and performance experience to the students. They adjusts the lessons to fit the needs of your children, whether it’s more composition ideas or adding some vocal instruction to the piano lesson. We loved having Curtain Call Music teach our kids!

Great learning experience. Curtain Call Music is great at helping me visualize the singing techniques. My passion for making music can sometimes be limited by what I think I can’t do. My lessons with my instructor were a reminder that sometimes we need a different perspective (or a classically trained opera singer) to help us create in a way I could not have before.

Curtain Call Music worked with three of my children, ages 7-13. Their experience both in voice and in piano was a perfect combination for the musical needs of our children. They were also great at helping them pursue composition, finding unique ways and connections to inspire their creativity. They’re professional, fun, flexible and good with kids.
As a tenor, my experience with Curtain Call Music has been excellent. With a specific vision shared, they are taking me on my journey to understand, expand and train my vocal instrument to reach my musical goals!

My son started working with Curtain Call Music a couple of years ago. The difference they have made for my son has been great. They have really helped him find his voice. We started taking lessons in person. Our instructor moved away from our city several months ago and, thankfully, we have been able to continue the lessons online which has been terrific. They have been particularly great helping my son prepare pieces for auditions for musical theater. The results have been great. I highly recommend Curtain Call Music for lessons, both in person or online.

As a high school teacher and a former piano major in college, I am most impressed by Curtain Call Music’s ability to diagnose and to remedy my vocal learning curve in real-time as I get more familiar with this complex instrument I’m carrying around: They adapt their learning exercises for me appropriately as I evolve. I also like that they leave me with plenty of notes and visual/audio examples if I get lost. They’re easily accessible too if I have a question about technique because I hate to practice wrong an entire week! I highly recommend Curtain Call Music for any level of vocal instruction.

Curtain Call Music has been working with our daughter to aid her in understanding the concepts of music theory. They are patient and provide outside material for her to reinforce the concepts they are working on together. They have a passion for teaching music and it is evident in their desire for their students to grow.
