FALL 2024-SPRING 2025 CLASSES
Piano Express: Beginner Group Piano Lessons
6 years and up
DAYS/TIMES:
Level 1: Spring 2025
DURATION: 60 minute classes in a semester session (12 lessons)
PRICE: $165 per month with $50 enrollment fee
CLASS SIZE: limit of 6 students
DESCRIPTION:
Kids deal with homework, tests, extracurricular activities, and other pressures on a daily basis, and we believe that music shouldn’t feel like another chore. Furthermore, modern research has shown that anxiety hinders learning.
To that end, we are using a unique program that teaches more concepts in less time, all while remaining fun and avoiding the stress that comes with formal 1-on-1 lessons. We would love to introduce you to The Piano Express group piano method.
Your child will receive a holistic and fundamentally sound piano education. They will learn proper technique, reading skills, ear training, memorization, musical interpretation, and more.
Technique includes correct hand position, good posture, and the art of playing without tension in the hands or arms. This helps prevent injuries in the future, and it allows students to play with speed, accuracy, and a beautiful tone.
Note reading is also at the core of our teaching practices. Students learn to read in both clefs, they learn to sight read passages with the right and left hands, and they gain competency in identifying sharps and flats. We also train our students how to sight read and teach themselves new pieces of music. On the other hand, we value ear training and improvisation. Students identify intervals by hearing them, and learn to pick out melodies and accompaniments without a written score.
Music theory comes into play as well. We believe in the value of understanding the fundamental building blocks of music – key and time signatures, chord inversions, major and minor, modes, and other principles are important.
From crescendos and decrescendos to the art of playing staccato and slurred notes, we help our students gain a well-rounded understanding of the piano.
