The Music Studio at St. John Cantius
The Music Studio at St. John Cantius Church assists aspiring and advanced musicians to increase their knowledge and skill primarily in sacred music and its performance. The studio currently offers organ, piano, and vocal training plus instruction in music theory, including analysis, aural skills, harmony, counterpoint, and composition.
​
Piano studies provide a solid manual technique and are essential to organists. Students learn through exercises and the repertoire all the abilities that allow a smooth transition to the organ. ​
Once good manual technique is attained, students move to the organ, learning how to play the keyboards and pedalboard. These studies enable students to explore the great organ repertoire and its different styles from the Renaissance to the modern era.
​
Music theory is also an important part of a musician’s background because it allows the artist to understand the structure of a score without playing it. Knowledge of harmony and counterpoint is also fundamental for choir directors in shaping music interpretation.
​
The Music Studio operates at a high level of expertise while seeking to expand students’ appreciation and fulfillment as musicians.
