What are Master Classes and Parent Workshops?
Master Classes are group lessons/workshops where the teachers become facilitators and the students become teachers! 
 
Students are placed in small groups according to level and instrument. 
 
With their teachers as guides, students learn about "what to look for" and "what to listen for" as they take turns playing a small selection of music they are currently working on in their lessons. 
 
In this way, students learn a Ton while having Fun!

Master Classes are appropriate for ALL ages and ALL levels! 


At the end of each master class students will play games to win prizes for their knowledge in:
 
  •  theory
  • technique
  • note-reading
  • music history work. 

In this way, they are encouraged to keep doing their "written work" for their weekly lessons. 

Master classes are CLOSED events meaning that only the students and the teachers are allowed in the rooms. 

Please note: there is no parent workshop for the voice masterclass.


**Master Classes are a crucial part of the MusicMakers Comprehensive Music Learning approach.  Want to know more about C.M.L.?  Click here: 

CML Approach



The Parent Workshops take place at the same time as your child's master class. 

Working directly with MusicMakers Director, Paula Penna, we will explore how to help your child get the most out of music lessons.  

Paula would like to know what you would like to know more about!  She will organize the workshop around your needs. 


Please click here to take the Parent Workshop survey to tell Paula which topics you are interested in learning about. Paula will use your answers to shape the workshops:
