At The Ugarte Studio, music is taught as a language and an art form, a fact that is very much forgotten in its instruction. The exploration and learning of additional verbal languages is much encouraged.
The core philosophy of the studio considers music a key tool in cognitive and personal development. Students are guided in growth and exploration of the art form; through the "understanding" and mastering of the different disciplines, each student's skills and talents are developed while embarking in the search of personal growth and excellence.
