Piano Instruction

We offer private piano lessons and group theory classes to students ages 5 and up of all skill levels. The length of the weekly lesson ranges from 30 to 60 minutes depending on the skill level of the student. Topics covered include building music skills, technique, theory, ear training, as well as sight-reading.

When is my child ready for private piano lessons?

For success in piano study, a child must demonstrate mental, physical, emotional and musical readiness.

To be ready for private piano lessons, a child needs to be able to:

  • Read and write
  • Sing in tune and keep a steady beat
  • Concentrate during lesson
  • Follow the teacher's instructions without feeling frustrated
  • Commit to a daily practice schedule

A child's prior experience with music is essential for successful formal piano study. Our Kindermusik classes are excellent for children who are under 5 years of age. Through joyfully participating in music-making activities in our group classes, your child will acquire a fundamental understanding of musical concepts and develop a lifelong love of music necessary for formal music study!
