Weronika Balewski.
Weronika believes the Arts have the power to build connection, relationships, and community. This idea is central to her work as a flutist and music educator. Weronika teaches at Integral Steps, Concord Conservatory of Music, Pianoberries Music School, in her private music studio, and for the City of Newton. Thank you to our New England partner organizations, who have welcomed Integral Steps so generously into their communities. We are also expanding the Integral Steps Scholarship Program to support students with financial needs living in New England. |

YuHsin Tai
The goal of YuHsin’s lessons is to build up students’ foundation of music knowledge and to help them cultivate an unique capability of interpreting and expressing music. YuHsin’s lessons driven by piano improvisation will inspire students to create, imagine, and implement their own music and movement rhythm, which could have a positive lifetime impact on their body coordination and instrument playing. YuHsin teaches Rhythmic-Solfège classes at Concord Conservatory of Music through a partnership with Integral Steps. |

This includes 15-20 minute individually focused semi-private piano lessons each week in groups of 2-5 students. Culminating in short performances at the end of every term, Piano Moves teaches students to love performing and become lifelong musicians and movers! |

Music in Motion (Ages 3-5)
Music in Motion
Move, create, explore and learn music through this high-energy, exciting and fun class! Rhythmic-Solfège is a movement-based music curriculum introducing concepts like rhythm, melody, and harmony in a social and imaginative way. Students embody music joyfully through creative games, improvisation, and expression. This curriculum is inspired by Dalcroze Eurhythmics and is part of a musicianship sequence that leads directly to the Rhythmic-Solfège curriculum Levels I-V (a leveled sequential program that specifically teaches children to become music literate and prepares them for Advanced Placement Level coursework that can be taken for college credit). Music in Motion is focused not only on creating vivid musical foundations but also supports children's emotional, intellectual, and physical development. These classes truly allow students to experience music joyfully from the inside out! Rhythmic-Solfège I (6-9)
Rhythmic-Solfège I
Rhythmic-Solfège is a sequential program with levels I-V that provides all of the necessary building blocks to achieve success with any instrument. It specifically teaches children to become music literate, preparing them for Advanced Placement Level coursework that can be taken for college credit. Taught by certified and licensed Dalcroze instructors, Rhythmic-Solfège builds on the principle of learning music through movement with the addition of focused musical study on keyboard percussion. A process-oriented program, it uses the Dalcrozian principles of joy, discovery and experiential education as its foundation, and delves comprehensively into musical subjects and music literature. Rhythmic-Solfège builds upon skills developed in Music in Motion, and is designed to increase coordination, spatial awareness, flexibility, focus, emotional knowledge, and vocal precision. The curriculum can be adjusted depending on age level and past musical experience; students who are older or have prior musical experience should discuss this with the instructor to ensure they are placed in the right level of Rhythmic-Solfège. Rhythmic-Solfège II (Ages 7-11)
