Our Program: How it Works
At SoundLife, we see the Musical Journey as more than just learning how to play an instrument. We break it down into five basic stages, which correspond to the programs we offer. From building initial skills all the way to inspiring others by sharing those skills, our Five Stage Program represents a well-rounded and fully engaging musical education that encompasses the total experience. With this approach we can tailor the program to each and every individual student’s experience level, regardless of where they may be in their own personal musical journey.
