With locations in both Long Island City and Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Sage Music o ers personal consultations for each prospective student where instructors evaluate their personality, interests, and ability level to determine the best path. e school has courses in composition, theory, and performance for guitar, piano, voice, violin, cello, clarinet, saxophone, ute, trumpet, and drums. “We o er lessons on a semester basis,” says Sagebiel, a critically acclaimed artist and MTNA nationally certi ed 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 o ers tips on how to make the lessons most e ective. 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 ve years old, a Musical Beginnings course for ages three through ve, 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.
