Music For Rascals |

Music
For Rascals is a music exploration class for children 2-5 years
of age and their adult buddy.
This is a group program that meets at 10:00 AM on Saturdays for approximately one-half hour to sing, jam, and explore music. Young children learn music through their bodies and this class gives many opportunities to do so. First we warm up with some clapping exercises that teach tempo and rhythm. Then each child chooses an instrument to jam with. We have bongos, mandolins, guitars, tambourines, and other instruments as they are available. Children are encouraged to bring in their own instruments to play and share. We sing songs that the children know and enjoy. This is a great opportunity for children to explore the world of music in a group setting and gives them the ability to express themselves musically while exposing them to a number of instruments.

Music
is an important part of life, and learning to play an instrument can
give a lifetime of enjoyment.
All students start out by learning how to play their instrument by observation, repetition, and learning songs they would like to know. Only after they are comfortable with their instrument and able to play a few songs do we start to learn how to read music. Students also learn proper care and maintenance of their instrument.
Weekly
lessons at 45 minutes each are required. This amount of time
gives the student and I time to go over what
they have practiced, teach new material, and then have a “jam” session to build confidence and have fun.
45 minute lesson $15
Rentals: Every student should start out with an instrument of quality sound. However, the lack of knowledge and cost of a new or used instrument can be daunting when you are not sure that you will like playing. This is why I offer affordable guitar, mandolin, and banjo rentals. I offer monthly rentals or you can rent to own. Supplies: Roberta’s Studio keeps on hand a few necessities for students to purchase. These include strings, metronomes, stands, straps, picks, and tuners. I am also able to order other musical supplies and instruments. Commitment is the key for everyone involved. The student will see progress, parents see results, and the teacher gets good recommendations. Lessons: Payment is due at the beginning of the month for the entire month. If a student cannot make a lesson, 24 hour notice is required and the lesson can be rescheduled if an opening is available. Rentals: A one month deposit and the first month’s payment are due upon receiving the instrument for students that are renting to own. First month’s payment is due for students that are renting. Subsequent payments are due at the beginning of the month. Please note: This is just an overview of the policies concerning canceling and rental. A complete policy is available when interested students apply.

ABOUT BOBIE |
|

I
have been a musician for over thirty-five years and an artist for
six. I reside in Canaan, VT with my daughters
Kara and Airole and cats Ptatty and Kel. Roberta’s Studio opened in April 2006 in West Stewartstown where I teach guitar, mandolin, banjo, and art. In October 2006 I joined the band The Folk Tree which features Folk and Celtic music. I enjoy performing and bringing back my experiences to my students.
All
teachers need to keep up their skills and I am no exception. I
periodically take guitar lessons from Patrick Ross
and have incorporated many of his methods into my own teaching. I also spend time reading magazines, books, and speaking with other musicians and encourage my students to do the same.
I believe
that family is the foundation of our country and enjoy becoming a
part of your family. Please feel free to pop
in any time to observe a lesson or ask about what I have to offer. My own family and friends pop in from time to time to say hi and it is this that brings the community to my studio. I am well known for my flexibility and am willing to try new things so ask questions and I will see what I can come up with.
