Classical Piano: Quality Instruction for Beginner to Advanced Students

- Introduction to piano fingerings using numbers. Stretching exercises for arms and fingers to prevent injury. - Children ages 4-8 will start with simpler pieces like "Dogs and Birds" and as they progress in their skills, they will move on to study "Step by Step" and classical literature. Adults will start with advanced studies in playing techniques, chord formations, and transitions. - Young students will learn Piano Penta scales, while older students will focus on major scales. Method books and supplementary sheets will be used to teach theory, note reading, technique, and performance. - Classic literature pieces will be selected for study. - Adult students will study Hanon, Czerny exercises, and Hundert Ubungsstucke as part of their virtuoso repertoire. - As a piano student, you will develop confidence in practice and performance. You will enhance your ear-training skills, muscle memory, tools for songwriting, theory knowledge, sight-reading, and find satisfaction in acquiring a new set of skills.

Early Childhood Music Classes

Jan, 2013 - Aug, 2015

Private Studio

The Musikgarten classes offered at this studio are designed to nurture the childs music aptitude by engaging children and their families in singing and movement activities which help attune the ear, refine the voice, and develop a rhythmic body through which music can be expressed. Additionally, instrumental activities are part of the program, ranging from playing simple rhythm instruments such as sticks and drums for babies and toddlers to playing keyboards for older children. This is the only program that offers curricula for newborns through group piano instruction. It is based on a keen understanding of how children learn, in both a general sense and, specifically, how they learn music. There are weekly assignments for families and as the children grow with the program. They learn piano pedagogy and solfeggio as they enter Cycle of Seasons and Pre-piano classes.
