Quarterly Testing and High School/College Placement
We help prepare students for high school and college auditions. All students are tested quarterly on Ear Training and Harmony, Rhythm, Technique, and Music Theory.
Rare Spark’s Mission
I founded Rare Spark Lessons in order to create an environment where all musical genres were encouraged, practiced and performed. I enjoy preparing students for college and helping each student to master their instrument, but also believe that music education extends beyond skill development. Music serves as a means to connect with the community, offers therapeutic benefits, and is a fulfilling pursuit for hobbyists of all ages. Anyone can take lessons to make music for the joy of creating, re-creating and engaging with others in the process of making music. I see positive changes in people’s lives because music engages every part of the brain.
The goal of all our teachers is to guide students toward competency through discovery and happiness, and work with them to spark curiosity so they can continue their own musical journeys.
