♦ Get left and right-hand techniques down
There are lots of “how-to” youtube videos available but having an organized curriculum developed specifically for your child makes a big difference.
Our teachers tailor the lessons exactly to your child’s learning and thinking style. Your child will get immediate feedback every week with tips that will improve their playing – speeding up the learning process.
Your child will be given the freedom to gain the knowledge and skills they need at their own pace, without feeling any guilt, shame, or awkwardness. They will feel comfortable, encouraged and inspired.
Our instructors are highly qualified, have teaching credentials, experience, and most importantly, they all have a passion for teaching. Being a musician doesn’t automatically make you a teacher – that’s why we search for those who are best qualified for mentoring our piano students!
My name is Patricia Bartell and I’m the owner of Bartell Music Academy
Over the last 20+ years, I’ve helped hundreds of students learn to play and most importantly develop a passion for playing music. I now oversee and hire only the best teachers for our students here at Bartell Music Academy.
At Bartell Music Academy, our teachers are trained to use a learning system I created called “The Bartell Music System.” This system allows our instructors to tailor their teaching curriculum to how a student processes information.
Left-brain dominant or analytical students need teachers to explain musical concepts using a language that makes sense to their analytical mind. Right-brain dominant students need a different approach to understand musical concepts.
The Bartell Music System is designed to deliver these musical concepts in either a right-brain “language” or a left-brain “language” making learning music a breeze.
Science has proven that music activates and engages all areas of the brain. Properly taught , music lessons develop both hemispheres of the brain increasing the student’s overall intellectual capacity.
♦ Play their favorite songs and sound good.
That question is often asked by prospective students. Our teachers make it a priority to get to know you on a personal level and to become familiar with your personal musical needs and goals. We do not treat every student the same in terms of what and how we teach.
A seven-year-old having their first music lesson will have very different needs than a fifty-seven-year-old taking up lessons for the 2nd time after having had lessons as a child.
The main reason to choose Bartell Music Academy as your music lesson provider is that we are sensitive to the fact that every student is an individual.
If you enroll here for lessons, we will work with you to make a plan that will fit your needs and musical preferences. At the first lesson, your teacher will ask you about your favorite type of music and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child.
Our teachers teach a variety of styles including jazz, rock, blues, latin, concert band and other pop styles. We balance musicianship and fun by making sure that each lesson students are challenged with a new technical or theory concept, but always finish with something fun such as their favorite drum beats or song.
All our instructors help students reach their individual goals of what they want to play.
