Beginning and Partner Piano

For children ages 4 and older

Partner Piano is an inviting, holistic approach to piano instruction. Students receive a combination of private and group piano instruction. Fundamentals of technique and individual work take place in a weekly private lesson. In the group lesson, two to four students work together to learn rhythm, pitch, musical terms and notation, using a variety of activities. Each student has a private lesson and a group lesson weekly. The program has four tiered levels of instruction, allowing students to progress at their own pace. Partner Piano I is limited to 4-year-olds with a parent or caregiver, so the adult can learn how to help the child with practice at home.

If Partner Piano is not available or is not the right program for a particular child, the instructor will help arrange the best private teacher for your family.
