piano-vox

Voice + Piano

This is an exclusive program that is unique to Red House. It was actually developed out of the wishes of younger students who realized that they had wanted to do both voice and piano lessons, so the voice/piano combination was born. You get 15 minutes of basic voice technique and 15 minutes of piano technique rolled into one. It's become a very popular choice at Red House and has spawned many young singers, and songwriters at the school.

ukelele

Ukulele Lessons

It's easier to play then guitar, and its smaller size is perfect for small hands. There is a reason why public schools have incorporated this instrument into their music programs. If you can memorize four simple chords, you can play and sing a ton of songs. This is an excellent choice for a "first instrument" for any age.
rock-band

Rock Band Program

Red House Music Academy is a 1500sq foot facility with enough room for a rehearsal area. Students have the opportunity to form their own band with their friends, or with a band composed of Red House students of similar ages and abilities. Students commit to a weekly Saturday rehearsal time, mentored by one of our teachers. In that hour, they learn the fundamentals of what makes great bands work well together. We work out the guitar, drums, bass, and vocal parts of the students’ favourite classic songs and explore the many facets of songwriting as a band.
*Michael Mckenzie teaches this on Saturday's and Thursdays.
