The music student has embarked on an exciting adventure. Study begins with simple classical pieces and traditional folk tunes. A carefully organized, developmental sequence leads to mastery of gradually more complex music. From the beginning, study of the piano repertory is integrated with exercises (in theory, technique and sight reading) intended to reinforce confidence, foster skills mastery, and enhance musical enjoyment.

The standard classical piano repertory forms the core of the curriculum. Some jazz and seasonal favorites provide variety and enrichment. Always, of course, method and materials are adapted to the needs of the student.

Private Instruction

All lessons are provided on a well maintained Kawai RX2 grand piano. Beginning students are given a 30 minute private weekly lesson. More advanced students require a longer lesson.

The Open Studio

In addition to the weekly lesson, the Open Studio is offered, several times a year, for those who wish. Participants share refreshments and play for one another in a relaxed atmosphere.
