Piano

Little Musician is designed to prepare young children who are interested in playing the piano. This group class is a perfect beginning to prepare students for individual private lessons. Preparatory Piano Lessons are great fun because the child gets to not only master the basics but also have fun interacting with other children. The children in the group will be introduced to the piano, taught the keyboard, the musical alphabet (rhythm values, rests, grand staff, and notes) through fun and interesting games so they will not even realize that they are going through the learning process.

Our goal is to cultivate/nurture a love for music in all our students to helthem develop into well-rounded musicians with strong technique, excellent listening skills and thorough knowledge of music styles. We will help each student to develop his/her full potential into a functional musician in all areas of music (sight-reading, technique, theory, transposing, improvising, performance, etc.) In addition, we hope to help foster a love of music in all of our students, and to help create an interest or curiosity that will encourage the student to want to learn.

It's never too late to learn music. Group Class for Adults is offered to adults with any music background from none to some. Student will learn rhythm, basic techniques of piano playing, reading music, creating simple accompaniment, and music appreciation. Group Class for Adults has 4 levels and one specialty level. Each level is a 12-week program that requires weekly attendance of a 45-minute session. An end-of-program test will be required.

Individual lessons are offered to those who want undivided attention to learn and deepen their understanding of music. In this program, students will receive individual instruction about technical skills and appreciation of music on their chosen instrument and in voice using Ms. Anna Poklewski’s unique philosophy of teaching. This program is available for all ages.
