Areas of Focus

Dr. Miklas uses differentiated instruction according to the student's current ability on the harmonica. He writes a custom curriculum for each student for challenge and achievement. Students begin learning standard music notation in the very first lesson, learning to produce music by improving their command of the instrument. By the end of a student's first semester, they will be able to play an adapted version of a piece by a well-known Baroque or Classical composer.
