Lessons

Beginners (5 years and up)

Beginners will meet once a week for 30 minutes. The focus in the lessons during the beginning stages will be to establish good daily practice habits as well as proper use of the hands, learning basic rhythm and reading and playing in basic hand positions. For young beginners, music games and award incentives will be used to make the lessons more fun and engaging. Students will be working with method book.


Early Intermediate (2+ years experience)

Students will meet once a week for 45 minutes. There will be more emphasis on theory at this level.  Students will mainly work out of method book. Supplementary pieces outside of method book may be "prescribed" to improve certain areas such as technique and sight-reading.  Students will be encouraged to participate in NYSSMA exams.


Late Intermediate to Advance (4+ years experience)

Students will meet at least once a week for 60-minutes. Students will no longer be working out of method books.  Curriculum will be based on musical goals of student.  For example, exam/competition participation and Pre-College preparation will be encouraged for those who are interested in pursuing classical music seriously.  Basic improvising, comping and harmonizing skills will be taught to those who are interested in exploring Jazz and Pop music.
