Our real vision as a music school
When it comes to teaching music our vision here at the Irvine School of Music is different. We empower musical voices. Thats why we dont sell books or rent instruments. Its why we cater each and every lesson to each and every musicians unique goals. Our vision is the music and from the moment you step inside our studio youll feel it.
The faculty is committed to teaching the Irvine School of Music Core Curriculum which is an integration of healthy technique listening (aural skills) development and theoretical knowledge. This strong foundation empowers students with the skills to tackle advanced music as well as a variety of musical idioms including Classical Jazz and Pop.
What makes us stand out is our enrichment programs that are geared towards long term success which include optional sequenced performance opportunities unique medal-level programs designed to monitor progress from year to year and incentive programs geared towards motivating students with in-home practice.
Each member of our Faculty is carefully selected based on extensive teaching experience and the ability to work with the specific needs of our students. While music-making is at the heart of the lesson it is always the unique goals of each student whether a five-year old beginner piano student an adult voice student or budding songwriter that constitute the focal point of instruction.
