Technology/Theory Lab Time
The technology in the studio is intended to provide students with additional opportunities to build and reinforce various musicianship skills. Encore Studio provides an individualized program of music theory fundamentals, ear training, music appreciation/music history, and rhythm drills. Students will be scheduled to use the Lab tools before or after their lesson/class. Students are expected to respect all studio property - to use equipment carefully, and only for instructional music purposes. Any damage or theft becomes your responsibility. If I find that students are creating problems, Encore Studio reserves the right to discontinue their equipment use, or in extreme cases to dismiss them from the studio.
