Confident Learning

Joining a band with peers who are at a similar age and level can be exciting and fun. Having other people to play with can relieve stage fright and drown-out any musical imperfections. You don’t have to worry about missing a note when everyone else can keep the tempo moving for you. Playing in a group boosts confidence and helps to make practice and learning enjoyable.

Developing Skills

Community is just as crucial for children as it is for adults. Being a part of a group with individuals that share similar interests will help build and strengthen a connection to other people. Becoming part of a musical ensemble will help you find unexpected friends. Typically, friendships made while working in groups are built on support and camaraderie. People who feel that they have supportive friends are most capable of making it through hardships.

Teamwork Collaboration

Most students, young and old, find it challenging to go from working alone to working in a team. Often, it is difficult to immediately sync with other people’s musical skills. Playing music in a group, however, helps to develop synchronization. To maintain harmony, bandmates and fellow students will work hard to play in tune and on time. Students soon realize that they can make great music together. Band members learn to work through differences and help each other grow.

Our mission at KMS, is to build musical confidence within our students. We do this by teaching them fundamentals, tools, techniques, and methods for quality practice and performance. However, becoming a great musician or master of your instrument is not exactly that simple. There's much more to learning music than routine and determination. At KMS, you will discover the joy of building relationships with band members, like minded musicians, and music mentors. You will also have the opportunity, as a solo artist or part of a group, to practice stage performance and gain invaluable stage time in a supportive and encouraging environment.
