Why Private Instruction?
Private music instruction through Cadek has the power to foster a lifelong love of learning and music appreciation, build positive habits and confidence, and establish a supportive learning environment with a trusted instructor. Students show improved self-esteem, self-discipline, and creativity in the arts.
Cadek has more than 20 instructors across disciplines with multiple speciality certifications. Each instructor brings their unique style and experience to students, and the director of Cadek works with families to help find the best instructor who aligns with their goals and expectations. While they bring diverse experience as teachers and professional musicians, all Cadek instructors encourage a love of music in their students through an understanding of process, foster a sense of purpose and initiative, and help students explore new possibilities.
Music education encourages creative expression and development that holistically supports a student throughout their academic pursuits and growth.
“I believe that every child can learn to play and play well. With the combination of a proper nurturing environment, a trained teacher, and a committed student and parent, the possibilities are limitless.”
