Preschool Piano Prep Classes
The Stackhouse Piano Studio offers Preschool Piano Prep Classes for young beginners ages 4-5.
​
Our Preschool Piano Prep Classes are specifically designed to be engaging and age-appropriate, with a focus on developing musical skills through play and exploration. We use a variety of fun and interactive activities to introduce young children to the world of piano, including singing, movement, and games. We use a variety of teaching methods and resources, including colorful visual aids and interactive technology, to help our young students develop a foundation in music theory and piano technique.
​
First-time beginning students ages 4-5 are recommended to begin in the Music for Little Mozarts group classes before transitioning to Preschool Piano Prep Classes, but it's not a requirement. Please explore our class offerings below and read our FAQs to learn about all our opportunities for preschool students!
The Benefits of Preschool Piano Prep Classes
or "Why I Love Teaching Preschoolers in Groups, and why you'll love it too!"
01
Fun & Motivating
The group nature of the class can make beginning lessons less intimidating and much more fun! Playing music with others can help inspire and motivate students to practice more during the week. Songs, games, and activities are SO much more fun when shared with piano friends!
02
Structured Learning
Group piano classes follow a structured piano curriculum that helps ensure all students progress together. Parents will receive an email after every lesson with class updates and additional at-home activities.
03
Performance Opportunities
In addition to an in-class recital at the end of the term, low-pressure performance opportunities occur weekly in group piano classes, so students can perform whenver they're ready. These small performances help build self-confidence and make bigger performances easier!
04
Highly Cost-Effective
Group piano lessons are more affordable than private lessons, but still give your child access to the best instructor and curriculum available!
What does a typical group class look like?
Group piano classes are highly structured to make the most of our time together - AND so we have time to have FUN together, too! Here's a typical preschool group class:
1
Sing the Hello Song together, followed by another movement activity or song.
2
Review concepts from the previous class.
3
Introduce new material through storytelling and song.
4
Practice new concepts and pieces at the piano.
5
Reinforce new concepts through games and activities.
6
Master new concepts through written or online activites.

Curriculum
We use a variety of the very best preschool piano materials avaiable to make each class engaging and fun! We love pulling materials from methods like Music for Little Mozarts, Wunderkeys, and Faber My First Piano.
Practice
This class is designed to introduce students to the piano and make the music learning experience fun. If you don't have a piano yet, that's no problem, practice is not a requirement - but I bet your child will have so much fun learning they'll want a piano at home for music-making fun too!
