More than just an introduction to the piano, students learn essential music skills from reading music to orienting their fingers on the keyboard in a fun group setting. This program features the Musical Monsters™ curriculum designed to prepare students for private lessons through interactive note-reading and ear training games. Traditional beginner songs, play-along tracks and online resources keep students practicing all week long. Students learn how to combine individual parts together for group ensemble pieces which strengthens their rhythmic skills. With only four students per class, each child receives  individual attention while the interactive games motivate each other to advance to the next level. Fall Semester (15 weeks) 
  • Students orient their playing on the black keys of the keyboard and learn solfege and notation to develop their understanding of pitch and rhythm.
Spring Semester (15 weeks) 
  • Students begin to combine hands together and explore the white keys of the keyboard, five finger scales and familiar melodies. Each group learns how to improvise and compose original music.
