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.
