The lessons take place once or twice per week. In our lessons, we usually incorporate lesson books, the type of which is usually determined on or shortly after the first lesson. The lesson books help the student to absorb the material in a most logical way. In addition to the pieces from lesson books, students play scales, etudes, sonatas, and other classical pieces. Playing various types of pieces and exercises allows students to explore creatively, while teaching them discipline and responsibility. In addition to the wide variety of materials we utilize in our classrooms, we also have a team of dedicated and professional instructors that have spent most of their lives mastering their craft and they are excited to share their knowledge and expertise with your child.
Teachers may use a variety of materials, from beginner books with simple songs to more advanced sheet music, helping the student progress through different levels of complexity while keeping the lessons enjoyable.
During piano lessons, the teacher may break down complex pieces into manageable sections, focusing on one part at a time and gradually connecting them together as the student becomes more comfortable with the material.
Teachers also incorporate music theory lessons into the piano class, explaining concepts like key signatures, time signatures, and chord structures to help students understand the foundation of the music they play.
Students practice reading sheet music during their piano lessons, learning to identify notes on the staff, understand rhythm, and translate those into smooth, controlled playing on the keyboard.
