BIO

Are you looking for music lessons in St. Boniface?  Music For Young Children's group lessons are so much more than just a piano lesson!

Music For Young Children is the only child-centered music-learning system that integrates piano, creative movement, rhythm, singing, ear training, sight-reading, music theory and composition.  There are classes for children of all ages!
Hi!  I'm Rebecca!
I am excited to be offering Music For Young Children lessons in St. Boniface.  My initial introduction to MYC was as an 8 year old.  There was a teacher in my town who had just taken her MYC training and my parents signed me up for Moonbeams 1.  I learned so much and as I grew older and participated in more music activities I realized how much my MYC beginning was an advantage that I had over other young people who had just individual piano lessons.
MYC is:
MOTIVATING: Learning together in a group setting is fabulous for children because it’s an inviting, free, and engaging environment. The lessons incorporate note reading, sight reading, ear training, singing, rhythm dictation, ensemble playing, movement, composing, music history, and more. Coming to class with your child provides special one-on-one time, and teaches you music, too!
FUN: We enjoy music together and children come to class wanting to discover, explore, create, and perfect. We use puppets, crafts, rhythm instruments, CD accompaniments, bell instruments, pianos, stories, and visual aids to make learning a memorable and flourishing experience!

"Coming to Mrs. Thiessen's studio for music lessons is the highlight of each week for my five year old twins. They love to practice what they learn and perform for people. With the twins starting Kindergarten I feel confident that their classes have even prepared them for school in numerous ways.  With my oldest child, we first tried a year of lessons with another company and then decided to try MYC. Within only a few lessons at Mrs. Thiessen's studio the difference was incredible. My son was not only enjoying lessons so much more but suddenly all the theory was making sense to him thanks to the brilliant teaching style that only MYC offers.  It's even fun for the parents and I'm so glad that we discovered MYC because it's been a gift to my children that will endure and aid them throughout their education."
-Amy, mother of 3 MYC students

I am in my 18th year of teaching the Music for Young Children program.  I believe it is the best program for children to learn to play piano because of it's child centered approach, meeting each child at their different learning styles.  It is amazing how much children learn how to play piano when quality music education is blended with the pleasure and joy of music making.

"MYC is a wonderful program that exposes children to all necessary elements of music from theory to note reading to playing technique.  And it does so in an engaging and fun manner.  It is very beneficial to be a part of your child's learning process, and you as a parent will walk away with a ton of new knowledge regarding playing the piano.  This program has been a great addition to our family - and it is wonderful to see my children grow and be challenged in new ways.  The discipline required to make adequate progress is a great life skill that I know will benefit them in anything they choose to pursue later on in life.  I highly recommend MYC and Rebecca to any family wishing to expose their children to music."
