Your baby is introduced to the joy of making music with his/her mom, dad, or caretaker. Babies play with simple instruments, such as maracas, bells, and sticks, along with songs and rhymes. Rhythmic movement nurtures the child's musical instincts! They have fun interacting with other children while playing with music instruments. Music, Mommy and Me helps your baby learn to listen and focus; through imitation, rudimentary musical skills are developed.

Piano Lessons involve learning theory, keyboard and performance skills in order to develop confidence, coordination, and concentration that enable a student to enjoy music for a lifetime!

Several Study Plans are offered:

Plan 1: (especially for elementary-level students) 30-minute private piano lesson and a 40-minute group piano lesson each week.

Plan 2: (Intermediate and high school students) 45-minute private lesson each week and 40-minute group lesson every other week.

Our experience has shown that the group environment is a psychologically sound atmosphere that promotes a broader understanding, increased motivation, and frequent performance opportunities — not to mention the fun of learning with your friends! Students for whom the group lessons are not appropriate may choose:

Plan 3: 45-minute weekly private piano lesson.

Plan 4: Two, 30-minute, private piano lessons weekly.

Opportunities abound for DALLAS/MUSIC piano students: format recitals, informal piano parties, ensemble programs, master classes, Keyboard Olympics, Achievement Auditions, and Dallas MTA festivals and contests. Our computer lab is a learning tool for music theory, history and composition.

Enrollment is for the school year (September-May). Private lessons are offered during the summer. Returning students are required to take a minimum of 4 lessons in the summer.

Students and one parent meet for flute private 45 minute lesson.The Suzuki Flute study involves development of extended concentration through games and assigned listening materials. This is a systematic approach to flute instruction with focus on developing a love and understanding of music in general and the flute specifically. Rate of progress is dependent on the parent’s observation of lessons and coaching at home. Large group “play-ins” may be scheduled once a month, depending on enrollment. Enrollment is for the school year (September-May). Summer lessons are also offered.

Learn to play one of the most beautiful of all instruments: the Violin! Violin lessons are individually constructed for each student. Time will be shared between developing technical skills and discovering musicality. Attendance of parents is highly encouraged.Enrollment is for the school year (September-May). Summer lessons are also offered.

Please contact Greg Ray at 972-768-2975 for information regarding guitar lessons.

Private instruction is available for adult students of piano, flute and guitar. Adult students enjoy informal performing during our “cabaret” nights. Whatever your taste - classical, jazz, pop, gospel, or the old standbys - the teachers at DALLAS/MUSIC can help you meet your expectations.

The Partnership: Teacher and Student
A successful learning experience is the result of both persons in the partnership working together.

Our job as dedicated teachers is to equip you with the skills necessary to enjoy music. In addition to planning and presenting a well-rounded curriculum, we encourage and motivate you to achieve your best. Since all of our teachers are dedicated to the principle of life-long learning, we continue to study, to practice, and to participate in professional activities.

On the part of the student, an openness to learning and a positive attitude are essential. Sufficient and proper practice will ensure progress; your teacher will present to you appropriate practice goals. Your level of advancement will dictate the amount of weekly practice necessary for progress - somewhere in the 2-5 hour range. Regular attendance at lessons is important.

Both sides of the partnership - teacher and student - working together, will enable you to learn more than how to play an instrument. You will increase your knowledge of music theory and music history, and develop critical listening skills. Your sense of accomplishment will give you pride and increased self-confidence. It will also be FUN! Adult students at DALLAS/MUSIC may choose the length of their weekly private lesson: 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or one hour.
