The programs at New Song Studio are designed to meet the needs of all students, recreational through pre-professional. Our teaching philosophy promotes learning in a positive environment with an emphasis on individual attention. Our personal approach to teaching helps each student reach the highest individual potential and feel a sense of pride and accomplishment.
We strongly believe in performance as a vehicle to enhance learning and to promote a positive self-image. All New Song Studio students have the opportunity to perform twice a year in an auditorium and/or in our studio recital room. Typically, our students love to be on stage; not only do they benefit from the performing experience; it is also a great opportunity for them to appreciate the presentations of others. These performances have consistently received enthusiastic responses from audience and parents. Faculty members take great pride as they watch each student shine in his or her own unique way.
We at New Song Studio believe that taking pleasure from music and dance is an essential family activity; and that age is not a limitation when it comes to the learning and sharing of the arts. Studying of the arts can stimulate and develop a child’s potential as well as enrich the quality-of-life for an adult. We at New Song Studio wish to work alongside you and your family in pursuit of the joy that music and dance bring. New Song Studio is proud of its faculty members all of whom are talented performers in their fields, as well as passionate and experienced educators. We present a group of professional artists who are passionate about sharing their love and their skill in music and dance with all of our students.
We look forward to your visit, and to becoming you and your family’s companion in the exploration of the Music and Dance!
What makes us different? - The Music Program
Other institutions/programs typically stress the ability to play-by-ear (or by memorization), so students can quickly advance through musical works and appear to progress quickly, and throw in musicianship, music theory, music appreciation, and composition only in the face of impending tryouts or adjudication processes (such as NYSSMA or ABRSM). Children coming out of such curriculum typically lack the solid foundation upon which his/her future advancement can be built; as well as the true understanding of the intricate intellectual and artistic details within the works which he/she performs.
New Song Studio, intending to fully develop a child’s potential, encourages its faculty members to strive to nurture every child into a well-rounded musician by guiding every child through different aspects of music-making which are level-appropriate. To ensure such goal is met, New Song Studio holds annual student progress evaluations as well as periodic faculty conferences where our faculty members come together to discuss shortcomings and new ideas in teaching.We have also designed Music Group Class specifically for young beginners. Overwhelming majority of the graduates from our Music Group Class have gone on to pursue advancement in other instruments and have been LOVING IT!
Though New Song Studio is located in Elmhurst, Queens, our students come as far as from Manhattan and Brooklyn, also Bayside, Fresh Meadows, College Point, Astoria, Maspeth, Jackson Heights, Woodhaven, Corona, Glendale, Kew Garden, Flushing, Rego Park, and Forest Hills in Queens, to take music (violin, piano, guitar, flute, voice) lessons and dance (ballet, modern, jazz) classes on a weekly basis! Their dedication speaks volumes and it makes us love doing what we do!
