MUSIC FOR TEENS PRIVATE INSTRUCTION Private lessons are the core component of musical study for most teen students. From beginners, to advanced students contemplating collegiate study in music, Brookline Music School offers instruction on a wide selection of orchestral, jazz, and folk instruments, as well as piano and voice. Each student is carefully matched with an appropriate instructor based on level, specific musical interests, and learning style. The professional teaching artists of our faculty strive to instill excellent technique and musicianship, and to kindle the spark of inspiration that motivates students to practice independently and excel. Our teen students are encouraged to share their music in performances ranging from group workshops to formal recitals.
ENSEMBLES Playing music with others in a social, collaborative setting is a highly fulfilling experience for any musician. BMS offers teens a variety of ensemble options in multiple musical genres. Performance opportunities at BMS and outside venues are included as part of these programs. • A Cappella Group • Advanced Flute Ensemble • Clarinet Choir
• Classical Chamber Music • Dynamic Duos • Jazz & Rock Ensembles
THEORY & MUSICIANSHIP
Group classes in theory and musicianship supplement private instruction and reinforce the skills needed to perform and learn music with confidence and independence. A working understanding of theory is also essential to students looking to improvise and compose. Theory classes for teens at BMS are currently offered in the following areas: • Classical Theory Fundamentals • Jazz Theory and Improvisation • Practical Theory for Guitarists
WORKSHOPS & SALONS
In addition to regular recitals, workshops, and master classes led by faculty and distinguished guests, BMS hosts a Friday Teen Salon Series specifically for our teen student community. In Salons, students share works-in-progress and discuss all things musical in a supportive, social, and informal environment. Brookline Music School is funded in part by:
