Welcome to Rhapsodyacademy.com
Welcome to the Rhapsody Academy of Music! It is here
that you and/or your child will have the opportunity to receive music education with the
piano. The school is located in Union County, New Jersey close to most comment
roads, proximity 0.5 mile to Kean University (please refer to map and
directions) on Floral Avenue. Be aware, however, that this street is one-way;
please follow the directions provided very carefully.
If your child has had previous experience in playing
the piano, please bring any books that were used for his/her past instruction. I
advise you child to have at least two pieces prepared to perform for me during
the interview/audition in order that I can assess in which level to place
him/her.
Our curriculum is based on the standards of the
National Guild of Piano Teachers. There are three levels, which are divided into
sub-levels; in order of Elementary (beginner) to Preparatory (most advanced) and
A-F (sub-levels). All the students are required to participating in the National
Piano Playing Auditions every year in order to be qualified to advance to the
next level. The entire academic year at Rhapsody is dedicated to aiding your
child in preparing a suitable program (pieces) to perform in front of a judge at
the Auditions. They will be graded upon their performance, which in turn, will
determine whether or not the student is eligible to proceed to the next level of
study. Each child in our school has the opportunity to attain the High School
Diploma in Music or a Diploma in Social Music.
To acknowledge the wonderful accomplishment of the
students who participated in the Audition, Rhapsody Academy of Music holds an
annual recital between mid-November/December. Awards will also be distributed
during this recital. In additional to receiving awards, the recital gives each
student experience in performing for the public.
Thank you for your interest in the program at Rhapsody
Academy of Music.
I look forward to meeting and working with you and
your child.
Sincerely,
AnnaKroik
