Registration open for SFA Music Preparatory Division classes

Registrations are now being accepted for the spring classes offered through the Stephen F. Austin State University Music Preparatory Division.

Students, including adults, may register for weekly private lessons in voice, harp, piano, classical guitar, violin, Suzuki violin, viola, cello, bass, flute, percussion and other requested instruments. The 16-week classes, taught by upper-level music preparatory faculty, begin the week of Jan. 14. The 12-week classes, taught by SFA student instructors, begin the week of Jan. 28.

Dr. Ping-Ting Lan will teach a 14-week intermediate adult piano class that will meet on Mondays from 6 to 7:30 p.m., beginning Jan. 28, in Room 302 of the Griffith Fine Arts Building.

Laura Treadaway’s musicianship classes will begin Monday, Jan. 21, and Wednesday, Jan. 23, in Room 302 of the Griffith Fine Arts Building.

Kindermusik classes for three different age levels, spanning newborns to 5-year-olds, will begin the week of Jan. 28 and be taught by certified Kindermusik teacher Karen Greer.

The early childhood music and movement program is based on the beliefs that every child is musical, every parent is the child’s most important teacher, the home is the most important place for learning, and music nurtures a child’s development, explained Pat Barnett, director of the Music Preparatory Division.

Registration forms for private lessons and/or classes can be downloaded from the division’s website at www.music.sfasu.edu/prep and turned in at either the SFA School of Music office, Room 150 in the Tom and Peggy Wright Music Building on the SFA campus, or at the Music Prep House, 3028 N. Raguet St. On-line registration for 16-week and/or 12-week private lessons is also available on the website.

For more information, contact Barnett via e-mail at pbarnett@sfasu.edu or call her at (936) 468-1291. The Music Prep office is open 1 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday or by appointment.
