Give your child a gift that can never be taken away! Reading music and playing an instrument is not for the few, talented and privileged. It is a skill acquired through learning and practice. Those that learn to read music and play an instrument often excel in other areas of life as well. This is because participation in music (especially playing an instrument) requires higher functions of the brain. Learning to play the piano for instance improves coordination, concentration, reading and math. Research has been proving this for years! |
| At Music Makers for Life the focus is on learning to read and play or sing music for the individual child. The goal is not to create the next Mozart or Beethoven (We don't expect every child who learns to read and write to become the next Hemingway). We want your little musician to be confident and enjoy the musical experience. Kids love their piano lessons, guitar lessons and voice lessons because we make it fun! |
| Class Piano lessons, Guitar Lessons, and Voice Lessons are a stimulating and fun way for children to learn to read music and play an instrument!

We have had recitals every year for the last 16 years. This is from the year 2000. Pictured here is Mrs. Villec with "Ash And Misty" who sang a duet from Pokemon as well as played a piano solo. Mrs. Villec doesn't get quite this close to all her students...these two happen to be her kids! Watch for videos from recitals past!!! |

| Hi Mrs. Villec,
A few days after you helped me with my song, "Nothing" from A Chorus Line, I won 2nd place, ($100!) in the "Focus Cultural Youth Day" performance competition at the Raue Center. Thank you for the voice lesson, I couldn't have done it without you!!! Amie Ledermann |

(Proof of attendance in that district must be presented at registration). |
