Children Courses
Our group based curriculum is rigorous, progressive and age-specific using the piano. Starting at age 2 and up, students are taught aural (ear) training, rhythms, reading, writing, music history and piano technique.
Group classes are a more musical way of learning that gives the students confidence in performing by doing their solos regularly in the class. The piano can be quite a lonely instrument to play at times, so any chance to play as a group and perform for an audience is hugely beneficial. By teaching in groups we are able to expose a greater breadth of experience to the learning process in an unpressurized and fun-filled environment.
Adult Courses
For the beginner, intermediate and advance student; this course will teach pitch identification, music theory, piano technique, reading, writing, ear training and exploration of music genres. Ages 18 and up
Workshops
