Lessons

The organization isn’t classically based in its approach to musical education. Rather, the Hickory Music Factory takes a well-rounded, interdisciplinary approach and strives to address each child on an individual basis. Unfortunately, many music programs have rigid guidelines that don’t allow for all children to succeed. Therefore, we seek to address the system and nature of teaching music that inhibits growth and success. We don’t offer a strict curriculum but a malleable model meant to encourage all. Catering to each student’s unique passion, we offer individual lessons in several genres. Every person is different and learns differently and, in turn, music serves a different purpose in every life. We believe in celebrating students and their differences and helping them find their individuality in music.
