Introduction to Piano
The Introduction to Piano Class is a 5-week class designed for students who want to try out piano lessons before joining our Preschool Group Piano classes.
The Introduction to Piano class:
-
relates the skills and concepts learned in the Music for Little Mozarts classes to the piano
-
teaches students and parents the importance of daily piano practice
-
gives students a solid foundation of knowledge to make a successful start in Preschool Group Piano classes upon completion.
Students may join this class at any time, but it is recommended that students with no prior music classes (in school, or otherwise) join the Music for Little Mozarts classes first.
​
Students are NOT required to have an at-home piano or keyboard for this class.
