Discover the joy of music in this engaging sequence of classes designed for young learners!

Beginning Piano I is introductory class for young beginners to explore the piano through rhythm, melody, and the music alphabet. Students will learn basic piano skills in a small group setting (max 5 students) that supports individual attention. This class helps build fine motor skills and musical understanding, preparing students for future private lessons or group instruction. No prior experience required!

Beginning Piano II is designed for students who have completed Beginning Piano I. This class builds on foundational piano skills with a focus on more advanced rhythm, melody, and notation. Students continue to develop their technique and confidence while preparing for private lessons or more advanced group classes. Class is limited to 5 students.
