The school’s educational core focuses on proper instrument mechanics, proper body usage, and the best methods for learning and practicing. With locations in both Long Island City and Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Sage Music offers personal consultations for each prospective student where instructors evaluate their personality, interests, and ability level to determine the best path. The school has courses in composition, theory, and performance for guitar, piano, voice, violin, cello, clarinet, saxophone, flute, trumpet, and drums. “We offer lessons on a semester basis,” says Sagebiel, a critically acclaimed artist and MTNA nationally certified music teacher. “We do have rolling admission, but we generally advise students to start in September.” Sagebiel adds that starting in September at the beginning of the new semester will help students to stay on track with the program. When Sagebiel meets with a new student for his or her consultation, he provides them with a thorough overview of how lessons are structured and offers tips on how to make the lessons most effective. As with all other aspects of music education at Sage, Sagebiel tailors these tips to the student’s age and ability level. “If the student is a child, we talk to his or her parents about how to get the most out of the lessons For Fall 2014, Sage Music will roll group classes to supplement the private lessons, including a KinderMusic course for children under five years old, a Musical Beginnings course for ages three through five, and an Introduction to Musical Instruments course for ages six through twelve, which exposes students to all instruments in order to help them decide which one they like best. Sage will also introduce an outdoor concert series for Fall, which will feature the musical talents of local musicians.
