	At the Contois School of Music we utilize the latest in piano education technology. Students learn on the Yamaha Clavinova interactive digital pianos which make learning music more fun and educational. Song and lesson files that we use can be loaded into compatible Yamaha Portable keyboards and Digital Pianos for interactive practicing at home. Audio files are also available for use with any music player device and keyboard. K-5th grade students concentrate on sight-reading and performance skills using the Hal Leonard Student Piano Method. Ear training and music fundamentals are also explored using the Music Ace PC software. Older students explore music theory and move into more advanced music studies like those used at the Berklee School of Music.

	Our guitar teachers use the latest in notation and recording software such as Pro Tools and Sibelius to help teach students how to sight-read, improvise, compose and learn the fundamentals of the acoustic, electric & bass guitar. In depth study of rhythm, scales, arpeggios, and chord inversions are encouraged with both Berklee Press and Hal Leonard educational materials. Personal musical tastes are explored and students are encouraged to learn a diverse range of styles to help them develop into well-rounded musicians.

	Our drum instructors encourage students to embrace all aspects of drumming and percussion by learning on both electronic and acoustic drum kits. Electronic drum kits provide sound isolating headphone jacks, built in metronomes, and accompanying rhythm tracks, while the acoustic kit provides the natural feel, response and sound for live performance. Our drum teachers focus on reading ability, technique and performance using the Berklee Press and Hal Leonard teaching methods.

	Our vocal lessons at the Contois School of Music concentrate on the fundamental building blocks of singing. Students are encouraged to work on breath management, develop a successful practice routine, and work on phrasing, intervals and volume control. Our vocal teachers are proficient on guitar and piano so that vocal students can pursue an instrument of their choice along with their vocal lesson. Background tracks are also supplied for practicing songs at home.

	Once a student has maintained a mastery of basic skills on their instrument of choice they are ready to join our Band Performance Class. This 90 minute weekly class gets students playing with other kids of similar age and ability, and teaches them the basics of getting a band together. Students will learn about performing on stage, understanding vocal harmony, music technology, chart reading, live sound, and much more. Band students are required to be enrolled in our private lesson program and will spend time during their private lesson working on their specific parts required for the band class. Please see our lesson administrator or your child’s instructor for the basic prerequisites for enrolling in this class.
