About UsIn addition to serving the greater Cincinnati area, The Egner School of Music also teaches lessons in the communities of Mason, West Chester, Liberty Township, Lebanon, & Hamilton and is expanding to new areas!
Lessons are offered for a variety of instruments and are available to students starting at the age of 4 and continuing into adulthood. Our teachers are experienced and committed to teaching students from the beginner to the advanced. Our teaching philosophy is structured around the 3 "E's." Education ~ Excellence ~ Enjoyment |
|
EducationIt is of utmost importance that our students are well-educated in music; they must know and understand music and music-making. Students who can play their instrument are a dime a dozen, but students who understand the music they are playing are often hard to find. We teach our students to thoroughly know music, not just to “play” music on their instrument. We desire our students to comprehend elements of the score, to use their bodies effectively to make good sound, and to interpret music creatively and according to historical performance practices. Thus, we give students a purposeful education in technique, quality musical literature, performance and artistry, music theory, and music history.

ExcellenceAlthough students differ in ability and development, we maintain high expectations for our students. We expect attention and respect in lessons, faithful and diligent practice, careful adherence to the teachers instructions, and an “I’ll-do-my-best” attitude. If students regularly meet these expectations, then they will excel to the level that they are able. It is our joy to help students master their music, to do the best they can, and to strive for and achieve excellence.
|
EnjoymentLastly, we want students to enjoy and appreciate their instrument, music, and music-making; and we know that as teachers, we am very influential in making this happen. Students develop enjoyment of music by understanding music, experiencing success in music, being exposed to good and varied music, receiving instruction from a teacher who is enthusiastic and encouraging. It is our goal to provide all of these opportunities for students, and as a result their lives will be enriched as they enjoy their instrument.
