Group piano classes offer a fun and unique way for your child to be introduced to the piano and basic music theory and to prepare them for private piano instruction.
Small classes move together as a group through their piano book covering basic fingering and rhythm skills, along with duet and ensemble music making. Your child will enjoy the varied activities only a group class can offer, along with a focused approach to learning the keyboard.
Class time is divided between reviewing assignments, learning new repertoire, individual time on the keyboard, and musical enrichment activities.
Students must have a keyboard or piano at home and are expected to spend time during the week on home practice.
Becoming comfortable with sharing their music is also a focus. Participation in our end of year recital is optional but highly encouraged.
