The "right teacher" is someone who has a good
personality and can inspire his students. He or she should be
someone who teaches your instrument full time. The right teacher
should play well, keep up-to-date, know how to present clearly
the right material at the right time, and also be caring and
responsive to each student's needs.
Our students quickly develop a close personal relationship
with their teachers. That's why starting with the Malverne School
of Music will make all the difference even if you've had a
negative experience with someone else.
In addition to a formal education in music, our professionally
skilled and experienced teachers must pass our own rigorous
training program. This guarantees that all our teachers are using
the same techniques and methods that have made us so successful.

Our methods are based on common sense. We balance an emphasis
on fundamentals while stressing creativity and enjoyment. We have
found a thorough education in fundamentals ensures that our
students continue to learn smoothly and rapidly. They learn to
read music with ease and understanding. We train the eye and the
ear as well as the fingers. Our students acquire correct habits
of practice and master technical skills. True enjoyment comes
from complete understanding and playing with ease.
While learning the fundamentals, our students maintain their
interest because we offer them music of their own choice. Our
students enjoy the challenge of classical, popular and jazz forms
so they can gradually develop their own preferences. We tailor
the lessons to meet their level of skill, and then try to
challenge them on a slightly higher plane to maintain their
interest and concentration. Music taught by our methods certainly
won't be dull!

We have found that virtually everyone has enough talent to
enjoy playing a musical instrument. If you or your child has the
desire to learn, you can succeed with the right teacher. When
someone becomes a musical drop-out, we believe it is not because
he lacks talent, but because the teacher failed to provide the
correct mixture of fundamentals, inspiration and a genuine
caring.
During your trial lesson, our skilled teachers will tell you
something about your natural abilities. Furthermore, talent that
is not immediately apparent can develop as you continue to play.

We realize that many people want to "check us out"
before they decide whether or not to continue with us. That is
why you take your first lesson with no obligation to continue. If
you aren't 100% satisfied with us, or if we feel your child is
not ready yet, there will be no charge. You can't lose!

We have electronic keyboards, guitars and various other
instruments that we can rent to you at very low fees. In fact,
our rates are so low that we will rent keyboards and guitars only
to enrolled students. Our rental service lets you try an
instrument for a few months without the expense of a major
purchase.
We at the Malverne School of Music are professional, skilled and reliable. Why not contact us to set a date for your trial
lesson?
