Piano

Offered on site with Mr. John Cesar.

My name is John Cesar and I am a guitar and piano teacher based out of the Hartford County area. I received a Bachelors and Masters in music performance to further my knowledge of  the instrument as well as building stronger pedagogical approaches to music. After receiving my Masters from the Hartt School I went on to study the Suzuki Guitar Method in serious depth and completed all 9 levels of training. This method of teaching is specifically structured to teach young children how to learn, understand, and connect with music through what is known as 'The Mother Tongue' approach. Through this method I have successfully taught students as young as 3. I firmly believe that every child can play music joyfully and beautifully. I am very excited to begin working with the students at Saint Thomas and Saint Timothy and getting a chance to share my passion for music with the students!

Choir

Offered on-site with Father David Cinquegrani, supported at St. Thomas by Mr. Hadyka. Choir is a wonderful opportunity for our students to grow as singers, share their love of music, and help make our liturgical celebrations and concerts more spectacular. We will have rehearsal times during the school day. STA grades 4 and 5 and STM grades 6-8 are invited to participate.
