More than just a lesson...
The philosophy behind Evangelista Music Studio is to have the student engage in many different aspects of music: listening, reading, and composing.
Ear-Training
Listening and playing back
Ear-training is emphasized in the lessons through various games and exercises.
Sight-Reading
Reading music never before seen
Sight-reading is a skill where a student can read music that he/she has never seen before and be able to play with almost no interruptions and mistakes.
Composition
writing your music
Writing music is an essential part of learning and understanding the mechanics music. This is briefly touched upon but will be deeply looked into if the student wants to continue to compose.
Ensembles
Group playing
It is is encouraged for students to play together as a group or with their teacher as a duet. This is emphasized in almost every lesson.
