As soon as possible we begin with the major and minor scales which we teach in contrary and parallel modes as well as in even and rhythmic approaches. Please call us at 305-668-9685 to set an appointment for a free lesson. Our educational philosophy is inclusive and comprehensive. We start with lines and spaces in the bass and treble clefs.
