Current research has demonstrated that both the left and right hemispheres of the brain are being used during music making. The brain of a newborn is a jumble of neurons.

Modesto Academy uses the Harmony Road Music™ curriculum for our group music piano classes. We chose this curriculum because of its well-balanced approach. It combines listening, singing (do, re, mi), creating, reading and playing music (rhythm instruments and piano). Our individual and dyad music lessons also include listening, creating, theory, reading, technique and performance. We want your students to enjoy learning to read, play and create their own music.
