Pathway to ExcellencePathway to Excellence is a guide to help students of all ages understand the recommended progression from beginning-level to more advanced-level music and dance study and achievement.

The goal of the Pathway to Excellence is to provide an opportunity for all students to achieve their full potential in a nurturing and supportive environment. The School is equally committed to students who desire music or dance solely as an enrichment activity, as well as those who seek to pursue music or dance as a professional career. Third Street’s excellent faculty and strong programs provide a rich music and dance learning experience.

ABOUT YOUR PATHWAYPerhaps you are thinking about ways to incorporate music into your infant or preschooler’s life. Maybe you have a child in elementary school who is ready to take music lessons or aspires to be a ballerina or hip hop dancer, or a child in middle or high school who really wants to play an instrument. Or maybe you’re an adult who wants to fulfill a childhood dream or wishes to get back to that instrument you studied as a child. Everyone comes to Third Street to follow his/her own path. Once here, the path to success involves participation in many of the following activities at the appropriate time in your development as a musician or dancer.

EARLY CHILDHOOD MUSIC INSTRUCTIONBegin your child’s musical journey at a young age in Third Street’s Early Childhood Music Program, which encourages the development of social, rhythmic, emotional, creative and academic skills. Research has shown that there is a window of time in a young child’s life during which the capacity to achieve musical competence and excellence is greatly enhanced if the child is exposed to an enriched musical environment. Students can apply the skills they acquire to all areas of their early childhood learning, especially building a strong foundation for future music and dance activities.

Third Street is home to Third Street Preschool, a preschool built around children’s natural love of learning. Entering Third Street Preschool, young children step into a world of music: meeting musicians, attending concerts and enjoying a rich music and movement curriculum. Students are also engaged in experiences such as painting, sand play, block building and dramatic play. Learn more at www.thirdstreetmusicschool.org.

BEGINNER GROUP CLASSES Beginner group classes are an effective way to start learning a new instrument in an exciting and supportive environment. Classes are small, usually three to six students, and include 45 minutes of instruction. Contact Student Support Services for available course offerings, or visit Third Street’s website for more information.

INDIVIDUAL & PARTNER LESSONSIndividual instruction (one teacher with one student) and partner lessons (one teacher with two students at a time) provide the opportunity for concentrated work and individual attention. Individual lessons promote skills, achievement and enthusiasm, and are recommended for all students who wish to move along Third Street’s pathway to musical excellence. Beginner students have the option to register for beginner group or partner instruction before taking individual lessons.

Both are offered in 30- and 45-minute increments, with 60-minute sessions also available for individual lessons. Partner lessons are an excellent precursor to individual lessons.

Individual & partner lessons available for:

n Pianon Strings: violin, viola, cello, string bassn Woodwinds: flute, recorder, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, saxophonen Brass: trumpet, French horn, trombone, tuba, baritone horn, euphoniumn Guitar: acoustic, electric, electric bass, ukulele n Percussion: drum set, marimba, orchestral percussionn Voicen Composition, Music Technologyn Music Theoryn Jazz Improvisation

TRADITIONAL METHOD INSTRUCTION(for all instruments and voice)There are many methods for teaching music. The most effective teachers bring the best of what they have learned through their own training and experience and develop an approach that enables them to respond to the needs of each individual student. In general, the traditional approach to music study integrates note reading and playing, with a customized repertoire based on the student’s needs and interests. The traditional approach is best suited to adults and children over the age of five who have already begun to read words. Parent/guardian participation in a child’s lesson, though desirable, is optional with the traditional method of instruction.

SUzUkI METHOD INSTRUCTION (piano, violin, viola, cello, string bass, flute)The Suzuki Method of instruction, which is as much a life philosophy as it is a method, was developed by Dr. Shinichi Suzuki in Japan after the end of World War II. Dr. Suzuki believed that all children are innately musical, that they can excel musically and that a “beautiful heart,” sensitivity and discipline can be achieved through hearing and playing music when started early in life. The Suzuki Method is most effective when started with very young children.

Here are some hallmarks of the Suzuki Method:

n The method is based on the way children learn their native language—by listening and imitating. Pieces are learned by ear (without reading music) and played from memory. Note reading is incorporated later on in the child’s training, when the child is beginning to read words.

n Parent, teacher and child are all active participants in the learning process. Parents must be willing to learn the instruction method and make a commitment to attend lessons, group classes and performances. Parents are also required to participate in at-home practice.

n The curriculum uses a common repertoire which is organized by books of advancing levels, starting with Book 1. The common repertoire enables students to play with each other and creates an international community of Suzuki learners.

n In addition to individual, partner or group lessons, young Suzuki students are required to attend a weekly repertoire class. The purpose of this class is to review and reinforce pieces learned in lessons while developing musicality and ensemble playing skills, often using games to highlight important technical points and encourage music reading. Repertoire classes also promote development of musical rapport among students.

COURSES OF STUDY

COURSES OF STUDYStart your child’s musical pathway with programs that bring music to life. Third Street children discover the joy of responding with their whole selves to instruments, song, dance and movement. Taught by talented early childhood specialists, classes are lively and engaging. These are foundational experiences that enrich children’s future learning, both creative and intellectual. As children’s love of music grows, so do they! This is music to grow up on. AllMovementandballetclassesincludeapianoaccompanist.

MOVEMENT FOR TOTSAges 18 months to 4 years with an adultRun and run and run and stop… Gallop, tiptoe, spin and drop… Inspired by their teacher, by the music, and by their own imaginations, children discover how much their bodies can do and say. They contrast body positions and experiment with speed and tempo in an active, playful environment. MUSIC & MOVEMENTAges 18 months to 3 with an adultChildren respond to music by moving, singing and experimenting with rhythmic instruments. They explore fine and gross motor skills, such as twisting, jumping, striking a cymbal or balancing with a hoop. Music & Movement opens doors to creative expression while building children’s confidence, independence and focus. The perfect starter class to share with your child!

MUSIC MAkERSAges 1 to 4 with an adultSinging, rocking, bouncing and clapping… children enjoy every step on the road to music literacy! Music Makers introduces young

children to the joys of music through rhyming, echoes, lullabies and imaginative play. This is a joyful and natural way for parents and caregivers to share musical experiences with their children.

n Toddler Music Makers Ages 1 to 3 with an adultToddlers experiment with simple percussion instruments, listening for beats, rhythms and sounds, and responding with their voices and whole bodies.

n Preschool Music Makers Ages 3 to 4With percussive instruments, scarves and hoops, children explore music in greater depth. Everyone is a musician as they create their own melodic patterns, echo shifts in tempo and volume, and build new skills with percussive instruments.

LAURIE BERkNER’S THE MUSIC IN MEGoldfish 12 to 24 months with an adultDinosaurs 2 to 4 years with an adultBest-selling, award-winning children’s record-ing artist Laurie Berkner partners with Third Street for a very special series of music classes.

THE EDA McFARLANE CLARk PIANO CERTIFICATE PROGRAMThe Eda McFarlane Clark Piano Certificate Program is designed for motivated piano students who are committed to achieving their full potential. This program is open to both Suzuki and Traditional Method piano students.

Third Street has adapted the curriculum of the Royal Conservatory Music Development Program for The Eda McFarlane Clark Piano Certificate Program. Like the Music Develop-ment Program, the Piano Certificate Program provides a fair and challenging assessment tool that measures achievement and is deliberately broader in scope, as Third Street wishes to encourage students to include such important musical pursuits as Chamber Music and concerto performance in their course of study. The requirements are similar enough that students can participate in either or both programs as desired from year to year. The Eda McFarlane Clark Piano Certificate Program is free to all students enrolled in piano instruction at Third Street. Students are evaluated on repertoire, sight-reading and technique as part of a


year-long program of study that includes concert attendance and performance. Upon completion of the 10 graded levels of The Eda McFarlane Clark Piano Certificate Program, each student will have completed a high quality, comprehensive piano and general music education. This program also includes many opportunities for public performance, personal growth and musical development.

PIANO ENSEMBLE PROGRAMThe Piano Ensemble Program provides a fun and enriching experience for pianists and an opportunity to discover the joy of making music with others. The Piano Ensemble Program enhances each student’s piano skills and leads to more rapid development. Students are grouped by level and age, with group membership ranging from two to four.

Enrollment in the Piano Ensemble Program is limited to students who have at least one year of instruction. Students are placed in ensembles by the Piano Department Chairperson.

Piano Ensemble classes are scheduled according to the availability of students and coaches.

PIANO IMPROVISATIONInstruction in piano improvisation is offered to all interested students with at least one year of piano instruction. Improvisation builds confidence and freedom at the keyboard, and further develops musical creativity.

PIANO OLYMPICSThe Piano Olympics are a fun way for students to strengthen skills and gain a sense of accomplishment. It is especially helpful to students of The Eda McFarlane Clark Piano


Certificate Program because Piano Olympics events include the program’s required scales, chords and arpeggios. Students are divided into teams by skill level and age, and compete for their adopted “countries” with prizes given to all participants. The emphasis is on participation, preparation and team spirit. The Piano Olympics concludes with an inter-national reception. This program is free to all students enrolled in piano instruction.

PIANO MONSTER CONCERTA Piano Monster Concert is for large piano ensembles of up to 16 players who play with a conductor. Piano students of all ages and levels are invited to perform in the Monster Concert on the last Saturday Music Hour in June. Students may sign up for a piece at their sight-reading level.


Strings The String Department welcomes students of all ages and levels in violin, viola, cello and string bass. All instruction for school-aged students employs the Suzuki Method, requiring all students to take one individual/partner lesson and one Suzuki Repertoire (“Rep”) Class each week. Beginner Group Instruction is available for viola, cello and string bass. Students are assigned to a Rep Class by the Department Chairperson based on level and teacher recommendation. Many string faculty members incorporate their own teaching styles and methods into this Suzuki program, including the Mark O’Connor Method, to meet the individual needs and interests of students. String students participating in the program must be available for Saturday Rep Classes. Beginner violin rep classes are scheduled primarily on Fridays. Please see page 9 for a description of theSuzukiMethod.

The School offers individual and partner lessons for students above the age of eight, and chorus for students five through 18. Singers can pursue instruction in many styles, including classical or contemporary (rock, popular, Broadway and jazz). Above all, Third Street places an emphasis on healthy singing and vocal technique.

CHAMBER MUSICChamber music is written for small ensembles and said to be the “music of friends,” whether played at home or at a world-renowned concert hall. Chamber music spans many eras, genres and forms. It requires the development of both musical and social skills, as each instrument has its own part that gives voice to a musical conversation. Whether amateur or professional, being able to collaborate

with other musicians is a vital skill that is honed through chamber music. In chamber music, students learn to communicate and develop close relationships through music, to give expression to a vast, wide-ranging body of repertoire, and to make music for the enjoyment of the musician, ensemble and audience. Please talk to your Department Chairperson and schedule an audition with the Programs department.

Dance Dance enables the expression of musical ideas and sounds through body movement. Third Street Music School Settlement believes that dance and music are inseparably connected, and that dance offers a unique opportunity for physical and artistic expression. Third Street’s dance program emphasizes proper body alignment, healthy physical development and the complete integration of music and dance.

In addition to being a discipline of its own, dance study can help to expand the musicianship of instrumentalists and singers. For example, dance can enhance the physical connection to music in terms of breathing

and artistic expression. It also helps develop a deeper understanding of the many musical forms that are based on dance styles like the waltz, sarabande, minuet, gigue, barcarolle, mazurka and polonaise. Third Street recommends that all music students study dance at some point in their education.

Students follow a carefully developed, sequential course of study that includes increased participation and performance opportunities as they progress through the program.

Students considering a career in dance can pursue an accelerated course of study.
