“Belle Arti” Center for the Arts offers private lessons for piano, violin, cello, guitar, voice, woodwinds and music theory; semi-private classes on piano, violin, cello and guitar; group classes for piano, violin, cello, guitar and music theory; Musical Aurora® (for additional details, see our Description of Programs). We also offer courses of chamber music for the most advanced students. The academic year has two semesters, Fall and Spring, and a Summer session. At the end of each semester, the students perform in a recital. In addition, at the end of each Spring semester, all students from level 2 up are required to take a jury exam, giving them the opportunity to demonstrate their technical and musical achievements. The elementary grade and level 1 students will participate in a class exam, which will be part of the students’ lesson.

Our innovative curriculum follows methods that are used in the most famous music conservatories in Europe and the United States.

Music Theory

 

Group Class

Theory is the grammar of music and, therefore, the basis for music understanding. This class is required for all students taking private instruction in any instrument. All students are required to take a placement exam in order to be placed in the appropriate level. The music theory class consists of learning harmony, ear training (sight–singing in solfege and dictation) and rhythm training.
