In-Studio and Online Lessons

Beginners:

Through our small group classes of 3-5 students, students received individualized instruction and assignments to help them develop a firm foundation in music reading, theory and playing skills. Group lessons are 50 minutes long once a week. Once they reach an early-intermediate level, they have the option to move to private lessons with the approval of their teacher and the Director. All classrooms are equipped with full-size digital pianos.

.

Previous Experience:

Students with any prior piano or music experience are asked to contact us for an assessment with our Director. Appointments are 30-45 minutes after which the Director will make recommendations on the best course of action for your student based on their needs and desires. Private lessons are reserved for early-intermediate students through advanced. All private lesson rooms are equipped with grand pianos.

Teen/Adult Piano:

Students who are in 6th grade or older and have no prior music experience can join any ongoing Teen/Adult class. If Teen and/or Adult has any prior music experience please refer to column B.

Digital Pianos:

Available to rent- $35 a month. These 88 Key digital pianos are the closest thing to real "acoustic" pianos. They feature sampled sounds which gives the performer control over how the sound "comes out." In addition, the hammer action on the keys helps students to develop the proper strenth in their finger joints.
