Lessons are given on a weekly basis and are thirty minutes in length. Beginners start with “method books” that teach basic note reading and rhythm skills. When the student begins reading with ease supplementary books are added to create more interest and diversity. At that time the student is encouraged to select the type of music he enjoys choosing from jazz, blues, hymns, popular hits, or classics.
If desired, an additional fifteen minutes is added to the lesson to include the “Computer Enrichment Program”. Instructional programs, mostly in game format, teach fundamentals such as note recognition, keyboard familiarity, rhythm, ear-training, and theory. More advanced students study the great composers, musical instruments, history, and terminology. These activities are designed to be fun and challenging and progress is recorded weekly.
Lessons are available on an individual basis for ages six – adult, however beginners may option to start in a piano class with other beginners at a reduced fee.
