Learning Music Is hard,
so Your Lessons Shouldn't Be
There are a lot of valid reasons that learning to make music is challenging - but fascism, white supremacy, capitalism, and everything they entail (including racism, colonialism, queerphobia, ableism, eurocentrism, discrimination on the basis of religious minority, and so many other forms of bigotry) should never be the things that make learning music hard for you.
Here are some other things that make learning music more difficult (that we work to avoid):
-
not having a good student-instructor match
-
instructors who believe that there is "one right way" to learn, teach or create music
-
feeling or being pressured into learning an instrument you don't enjoy/aren't interested in (especially for young students like kids and teens)
-
a lack of focus on your individualized needs, strengths, and interests
-
one-size-fits-all approaches to learning
At Fractal School of Music, our utmost priority is our students. Because of that, it is paramount that we always work towards greater accessibility, inclusion, equity, and justice. Our commitment to you is to continually improve and never stop learning and striving to better serve you because music is for everyone.
A few important notes about and values of our school include:
-
We are a trans-owned business and specialize in the transitioning singing voice.
-
We work towards reducing barriers to access including sliding scale pricing, plans for a scholarship program, and unwavering focus on our students who belong to marginalized and underserved populations.
-
Decolonization work and dismantling longstanding racist inaccuracies about music history are a critical and ever-evolving part of our approach to music education.
-
Our school is committed to anti-racist action - endeavoring to teach without perpetuating racism is nowhere near enough in an inherently racist society.
-
One of our values is that we don't gatekeep knowledge, we seek to both create and disseminate free resources.
