We have several available teachers who can teach instruments such as: saxophone, trumpet, drums, flute, clarinet, cello and more. Set a call to speak with us and we will be glad to help get you started!
All our musical instrument lessons are great for ages 5 and up. When working with ages 5-10 or so, we focus on enjoying our instrument, learning posture, memorization, matching pitch, expression, and more.
Ages 11 and up can take a more comprehensive and advanced approach, and should have 60 minute lessons to improve optimally.
We currently teach other instrument lessons in Gainesville, FL and Jacksonville, FL .
Teachers with Shining Star help all ages enjoy and understand their instrument better. Regardless of your age and experience, you will have a fun, encouraging and educational experience!
Our teachers focus on:
1. Technical Exercises: learning technique and basics that can be memorized. and repeated
2. Songs: we choose songs the student likes, as well as songs that will challenge them
3. Theory: understanding the underlying architecture of music
4. Reading Music Notation
We have seen first-hand how performance and performance preparation motivates and builds confidence in our students. We offer many performance opportunities throughout the year:
1. Spring Recital
2. Fall Recital
3. Retirement Home Performances
4. Group Zoom Practice Sessions at least bi-monthly
5. Group Recital Prep classes before each recital
For students who wish to compete and/or audition for local musicals/bands, we offer preparation and guidance, as well as information on how to partake in local events.
Our Director, Katrina Mendez, has been teaching for nearly 20 years. She leads the teaching team in regular meetings, material review, and guidance throughout each semester. She hosts many of the group classes and the recitals as well.
Students will need materials, and if you need any assistance, please let us know in your discovery call. We can set up an evaluation lesson (free) where the teacher can explain what is needed to start lessons.
