Sound Beginnings (0–4 yrs.)
Sound Beginnings is a preschool music class for ages 0–4 that is conducted in a "mommy and me" style. This program offers six non-sequential semesters that include singing, movement, nursery rhymes, games, stories, and ear training activities. Students even work on their ABC's and learn foundational music reading concepts. Students that complete Sound Beginnings courses will be primed for success in Let's Play Music and Kindergarten!
Let's Play Music (4–6 yrs.)
Let's Play Music is a full musicianship course for students beginning between ages 5–6. This three year program uses hand signs, folk songs, games, movement, and creativity to instill music education through music theory, listening, and playing instruments, including keyboards. Students that complete Let's Play Music will be ready to enjoy the challenges and benefits of private music lessons for any instrument, including voice, with confidence!
Presto (7–12 yrs.)
Presto is an accelerated class for musicianship and piano skills for older beginners, ages 7–12. Presto is more than just piano lessons! Kids learn music history, classical music, sight singing, ear training, and music theory. When students complete the 2-year course, they will be able to accompany themselves, sing in harmony, transpose, and compose. And it all happens in a fun, group lesson environment that provides peer interaction and opportunities for games! Students will want to practice, and as they progress and develop good practicing habits, music lessons will become a pleasure and a challenge rather than a chore. Presto lays the foundation so students can excel in any music endeavor!

Clara McDonald
My passion is music education. I have nearly 25 years of combined private and classroom teaching experience and a B.A. in Music Education. I have directed, accompanied, and participated in choirs, bands, orchestras, worship teams, and handbell choirs. Over the years I have played for recitals, weddings, funerals, art shows, recordings, accompanied vocalists, given solo recitals, adjudicated competitions, and worked as the administrator for a conservatory of arts program. I opened Infusing Music Studios in 2015 where I teach private piano and flute lessons as well as rent space to other teachers of various instruments. We serve over 100 students each week from the Flagstaff and surrounding communities.
In addition to making music of all kinds I enjoy running, cooking, knitting, the outdoors, homeschooling, cultivating friendships, watching movies, and traveling. (Oh, and did I mention that I like chocolate?) I would love to help your child discover the amazing world of music! |
