The common thread for Academy students is shared punctuality, preparation and practice, with the goal of personal satisfaction, and the confidence and pride to perform. To build student confidence, recitals and special performance opportunities will be provided on a regular basis. These will be coordinated by the instructor and participants. This concept is a continually growing and evolving opportunity for students to apply their abilities outside the lesson. Additionally, the Academy encourages students, parents/guardians, and instructors to have a healthy dialogue about the student’s performance and enrichment opportunities.
All competitively-priced private lessons are scheduled on a weekly basis in 30-minute, 45-minute or 60-minute intervals, as determined by the parent/guardian, student and teacher. For more information or to register, please call 610-356-1098 or email us at SpiritoftheArtsAcademy@gmail.com. For a list of teachers, please visit us on the web at http://www.marplepres.org.
