Guitar Lessons
Addison Preschoolers

Our preschool program is a fun, private guitar lesson for children ages 3-5, with a broader goal of teaching the fundamentals of music. All lessons are 30 minutes per week. These lessons also utilize concepts and exercises from Dalcroze Eurhythmics and Kodaly, both methods renowned for developing musical ability in young children through movement, rhythm, and singing games. Our guitar lessons are especially good for the child who is not yet ready to sit through a traditional half-hour lesson.  It's not uncommon to see DSM faculty marching, jumping, clapping and coloring their way through guitar lessons with a preschooler!

Our format for guitar lessons includes lots of varied fun activities that provide a solid foundation for both traditional private guitar lessons and/or another age-appropriate instrument. As the child progresses and his or her attention span increases, more and more time will be given to actual guitar skills or the instrument of choice.
