Welcome to the Music Center on-line. On our site you will find information about our vibrant educational programs. We encourage you to take the time to reflect on what you are seeking from a music education, and we hope you will carefully compare your desires with our offerings.
In short, we're offering you the opportunity to encounter and to develop beauty. Beauty is not to be confused with "pretty"-- because let's be frank, beautiful things usually come with a bit of awe, sometimes rough edge and often even hilarity or levity. It would be impossible for us to explain the role a good music or aesthetic education plays in enhancing both individual and community life and development; we imagine you already have some notion of beauty's importance, or you wouldn't be visiting on-line. Beauty is essential to a fully human experience and a good and happy life, and encountering and cultivating it requires some balance between discipline and freedom. That's where we enter the picture.
Whether you're an individual looking for private lessons with a great teacher, a parent looking for meaningful and fun summer camps, a somewhat burned out player seeking creative projects and performance opportunities, or a school head looking for a way to enhance music education in your community, we have something for you. Our philosophy, programs, approach, and faculty credentials and experience are spelled out in great detail on our site. Simply use the About Us menu to learn more about the school, the Programs and Registration menu to read about programs of interest, and the Faculty and Administration Menu to read about our team. If you're ready, you can register on-line today. You are also welcome to arrange for a tour, trial lesson, and conversation.
In closing, beauty is what we hope you will encounter, discover, and develop through your ties to the Music Center. From recruiting like-minded and highly qualified professional artist educators, who have the talent and skills to create and implement an innovative curriculum and exciting programs, to cultivating our gardens and local art at the Center, we're committed to realizing our ideals in a unique, inspiring and effective educational experience. We invite you to join us.
Plese contact us with any questions. We look forward to meeting you.
Our Mission and Values.At the Little 5 Points Music Center, we're serious about the power of music, and we believe playing music makes life better. We're here because music is much more than a commodity to be packaged, sold and consumed. Music is something you do, and we believe anybody can do it.
At the Center, we nurture your creativity and we help you develop genuine musical literacy, whether you are young or old, a beginner or nearly a professional, a classical, jazz, experimental, or rock inspired musician. Our diverse faculty is prepared to support your efforts, no matter your aesthetic manifesto, and if we aren't already equipped with staff to meet your needs, we will work with you to find someone who is.
More than just an educational service, the L5P Music Center offers a forum for cultural exchange with the aim of enriching lives.
