Piano Classes Kids Love!
Kids LOVE learning to play the piano with other kids. Your child will be playing songs from the very first lessons and learning new songs every week. In our small group classes, students advance quickly with lots of time for skills development, instruction, game based learning, and hands-on fun. Music making with peers creates an energetic, encouraging learning community that builds confidence and skills.     

Kids leave their weekly lesson already knowing how to play and practice their songs. Weekly games and activities include developmentally appropriate rhythm, melody, harmonization, improvisation and composition activities to develop aural skills, note-reading, and musicianship. 


A piano/keyboard with stand and bench are required for home practice.

Fall: September 3-December 14
