Our Values

Our teachers strive to live up to our values in every lesson. We strongly believe in:

INCLUSION

Every child can, it is up to us to figure out how.

TEAMWORK

The art of studying an instrument involves many participants, not just the student and the teacher. We must give our parents tools to feel confident in their role as “home teacher” and help them create a nurturing learning environment. This will set the student up for success. Our collaborative atmosphere allows students to work with many teachers, through group classes and other activities. 

ADAPTATION

Every student is different, every teacher is different, every situation is different. It is important to find the right “fit” for each child.

MUSICIANSHIP

Ability is not determined by what piece you play, rather how you play that piece.

DETERMINATION

Learning an instrument is not easy, TSSM teachers help students embrace the challenge with joy.
