Choir
Ages 10-18
Join AJT School of Music’s Choir! Choral singing helps improve aural, vocal, and music reading skills, as well as musical memory. Learning to be in an ensemble develops discipline, attention to detail, and fosters commitment to the group. It’s an exercise in teamwork, which is often something children focused on their own performances onstage forget.
Our curriculum includes everything from a cappella to accompanied, madrigals to pop music. Additionally, our resident dance instructor will choreograph numbers so students can learn to utilize proper vocal technique while dancing.
Learn to value artistry, excellence, musical independence, potential, high expectations, commitment, joy, and a greater musical sphere of thought. And learn to listen…a good choralist must pay close attention to what’s going on around them.
One of the largest benefits of joining a choir is that choir is an excellent stress reliever. In our rush to meet deadlines at school or work or coping with challenging people on a daily basis, choir rehearsal helps put the stress of the day behind you and focuses on breathing and the return to your center. Our whole-body approach at AJT School of Music takes the mind and body into account.
Choir will meet on Mondays from 4-6pm in South Asheville at the AJT studio. Ages 10-18. COST is $105 per month.
BAND
Get ready to jam! AJT’s Band class invites young musicians to come together, plug in, and make music in a fun, energetic group setting. Whether your child plays guitar, drums, piano, bass—or is just starting out—this class is the perfect place to explore instruments, build skills, and experience the excitement of being in a band.
No instrument? No problem. AJT provides instruments for class use, and beginners are absolutely welcome. Our experienced instructors guide students step-by-step through technique, rhythm, and ensemble playing. From pop and rock hits to classic band standards, students will rehearse and perform a wide variety of music while learning how to collaborate, improvise, and shine on stage.
Combining singing and instrumental experience helps build a strong foundation in music theory, ear training, and creative expression. Take Band and Choir back-to-back on Monday evenings from 4:00-6:00pm (Choir) and 6:00-8:00pm (Band) and watch your child’s musical gifts flourish!
Band will meet on Mondays from 6-8pm in South Asheville at the AJT studio. Ages 10-18. COST is $105 per month.
Auditions for the Fall 2024-2025 season will be held on June 20, 2024. More information will be provided soon. Please APPLY HERE to become part of AJT’s School of Music.
