Independence School of music helps parents provide home school music education, home school music performance, and music appreciation to their home school children in the Cleveland area, including all of northeast Ohio. (We will travel)

 

If you are home schooling your children, you may want your child to learn a musical instrument and enjoy playing in a string ensemble, a 5 or 10 piece combo consisting of mixed musical instruments including brass or woodwind, or participate in a small orchestra for homeschooled children.  Independence School of Music can be your home school music extension.  We will offer private lessons and group lessons at our Independence School of Music studios, or we will work with home school parents to "build" a music program in a location convenient to where you live.  Parents are always welcome to sit in on lessons at Independence School of Music.  We offer a safe and pleasant environment for all of our music students.

Our ensemble, combo, small band, small orchestra, and singing groups teaches the student to appreciate and enjoy music, while they are having fun and interacting with other young musicians in a safe and nurturing environment.

Independence School of Music Homeschool program will send one of our music educators to your community once or twice a week.  For example if participating in our strings program for homeschoolers, your student may learn violin, viola or cello.  Once a week our music instructor will come to a convenient location and conduct a one hour practice session.  In addition students will take their private instruction on the same day.

For each group of home school students, we have a parent advisor consul that reviews music selection, and assists with recital planning, and other logistic issues

Our Homeschool music extension offers mixed and all girl and all boy singing groups.  We offer home school string ensembles including private violin lessons, private cello lessons, and private viola lessons.  Independence School of Music will offer your homeschooled children the opportunity to participate in a Jazz Combo, and even learn to play in a Gospel Rock band.  Homeschool parents participate in the selection of our music program.

We are located in Independence Ohio, and can travel to any location within a one hour drive to offer music education to home schooled children.

We will provide your student with a musical instrument such as a violin, viola, cello, saxophone, flute, trumpet, trombone, clarinet, keyboard, or guitar.  These instruments can be purchased, or can be rented as part of the home school music program.  We also will provide the music instruction books.  The books we use, often contain a CD or DVD so that parents can work with young children to help them with their practice.

Here is an example of how our home school music program might work in your community:

One or more parents will sit on the parent advisory counsel for music homeschooling in your community.  The role of the parent will be to contact Independence School of Music, and act as a liaison as we tailor the music instruction program to your needs.  The parents will procure a meeting site that will allow for private and group lessons.  In this example we will build a string music program for students in grade 4 through 8 for 10 students.  Each student will have the opportunity to select a string instrument such as a violin, viola or cello.  (cello is more expensive and not required for a strings group).  Once a week, the teacher will visit, and will offer private lessons to each student on their chosen instrument.  These lessons will be 30 minute lessons in most cases.  The student will be given a practice assignment requiring 20 to 45 minutes of practice each day depending on the student and the goals established with the parent.  After the private lessons are complete, all students will reconvene for one hour of ensemble training.  During ensemble training students learn to play their instrument together with other musicians.  At Christmas time, and again in the spring, students will perform individually and in the ensemble for friends, family and the community.

The cost for this type of "typical" program will be approximately $150 per month per student including weekly private lessons, weekly group ensemble lesson, instrument rental and music books, assuming between 6 and 10 students.  These costs assume the parent group can arrange lesson and recital locations.  This program is designed to be comparable or superior to the music education students might receive in a public school.  Home School Students will learn music theory, music appreciation, how  to read and write music, how to play a musical instrument, how to play together with other musicians, how to perform in public, and performance etiquette.   They will gain self confidence, learn to work with other children toward a common goal, and develop a love for music that will last a lifetime. 

Home School Music Students who already have an instrument, will save approximately $30 per month.  Weekly private instrument lessons without the group ensemble are available for $80 per month.  Students who choose to participate only in a singing group will pay only $30 per month, however we will need a minimum of 6 students in private lessons to travel to your location.
