We are an independent school in Laurel, MT. We have a variety of offerings including piano and voice lessons, voice classes, and various seminars.
The Pelham family are life-long learners who want to help others do the same. Both Jack and Kay have degrees in music and years of teaching experience. Kay has a Masters in Piano Pedagogy while Jack has a Bachelors in Voice. Jack is also extensively studied in the Cognitive Sciences and enjoys lecturing on a number of topics from Covey's famous "7 Habits of Highly Successful People" to his own book, Character Not Included: What America must fix before she can fix anything else. He is particularly interested in advancing Reality-Based Thinking as a sustainable way of life.
Jack's voice classes are a super-rewarding and economical alternative to private voice lessons. 10-12 students meet in two-hour sessions, where they not only learn the basics of singing from the teacher, but also learn as they see each other being coached. The class comprises an audience for each other and they become friends very quickly, with most getting over the "scariness" on the very first session.
We are active in the Laurel/Billings area homeschooling community.
As we grow, we may offer other classes for a fee, such as courses in logic (with adult and adolescent levels), elocution, and so forth. Please let us know any interests you may have.
