About the Studio
Students of all ages and levels are welcome at Asuka's Piano Studio.

personality. Lessons are held once a week at Asuka's studio in
Morningside Heights or in the student's home.
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

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
