Programs
In order to accommodate each student’s aspirations and desired level of engagement as well as facilitate making consistent progress towards the selected goals, The Art of Piano currently offers two quality piano programs as well as other music programs.
Individual piano lessons include and additional 30 minutes or more of computer time in the student computer lab to practice note reading, music theory, ear training and other music skills. The computer lab is equipped with a variety of music software with sophisticated customization and score keeping options. This allows the instructor to set up an individualized curriculum for each student and view his/her progress after computer sessions.
Pre-Professional
The Pre-Professional program is designed for piano students who aspire to become professional pianists/musicians or outstanding
amateur musicians.
The weekly lessons of “Pre-Professional” students will
be one hour long. Young children enrolled into this
program may take two shorter, 30-minute lessons a
week instead of one longer session. An additional 30 minutes or
more of computer time is offered with each individual lesson.
In order to be able to make solid progress towards the selected
goals, the “Pre-Professional” student is expected to
practice at least 6 days a week. The desired length of daily practice
will vary with age (30 minutes to 2 hours or more).
Solid Foundations
This program is designed for students who would like to build solid foundations in music and piano. This will
enable the student to make consistent progress and enjoy piano and music as an amateur musician or, should (s)he later
aspire to become a professional-level musician, build on this foundation.
The length of weekly lessons for students in this program is 45 minutes
or more. However, very young, beginner students may start with 30-minute lessons.
An additional 30 minutes or more of computer time is offered
with each individual lesson. In order to ensure solid progress and enjoyment,
students in the “Solid Foundations” program are expected to
practice at least four or five days a week. The desired length of daily practice
will vary by age and accomplishment level. For very young students, twenty
minutes a day may be sufficient, while more advanced students should practice
at least 45 minutes a day.
Chamber Music
This program is designed for pianists, other instrumentalists, and vocalists
who would like to improve their ensemble playing skills in a chamber-music
(small music groups, two or more people) setting. Friends and family members
are encouraged to sign up together as an ensemble.
Please, contact The Art of Piano if you do not have a chamber music partner
but would like to find one.
