About Piedmont Learning Academy for Youth Music
(P.L.A.Y. Music) places an emphasis on the teaching the
whole child: head, heart and hands. The central focus of the
curriculum is to instill in each student a thankfulness for their
background and place in the world, an appreciation for
those different than themselves, a motivation to work with
others in a team, and to better themselves holistically through
active contribution and participation in an ensemble.
Additionally, the program strives to assist students to excel
academically—particularly in the area of early childhood
literacy—by creatively including academic activities in each
music lesson.
Meet the Teams
Team Mozart is the primary level of string ensemble
musicianship training which provides beginner K-2nd grade
students the opportunity to develop basic musical skills
including music notation, creative movement and dance,
beginner violin techniques and care, composition,
improvisation, and solfege singing, which are all
accomplished through participation in “paper orchestra”
and beginner strings ensemble.
Team Beethoven and Brahms is the secondary level of
string ensemble musicianship training which provides students
upwards of 5th Grade and graduates of Team Mozart the
opportunity to further develop their musical skills. Team
Beethoven students transition from the “general” music format
of Team Mozart into more of a formal “orchestral” setting
through more consistent use of chairs, stands, music books,
and an introduction to viola and cello for select students in
hopes of graduating into our newest, most advanced group –
Team Brahms – or preparing them to successfully audition for
the Winston-Salem Symphony Youth Orchestras Program.
Music TheoryA new program offered to Team Brahms students is P.L.A.Y.
Music Theory. In an environment that supports their musical
growth, social growth, and participation in the ensemble,
students will develop musical literacy, learn basic music
theory concepts, practice group performance pieces,
compose, and improvise short compositions as a class.
