LMY0247 - Youth Preparatory Piano Program 45 Minutes Private Lessons and 50 Minutes Group Sessions for 15 Weeks
Group Piano
Course Description
This private and group instruction bundle consists of a combination of group and private instruction for children ages 6 to 15. Group lessons offer peer reinforcement, social interaction, musical group experience and group activities. Private lessons provide the necessary individual attention for technical development and interpretive and expressive insights. By combining these two approaches you receive a comprehensive 15 week curriculum. Participate in one 30 minute private lesson and one 50 minute group lesson each week. Students are grouped according to age and level. Using the Celebrate Piano Method, developed by Dr. Cathy Albergo and Dr. Mark Mrozinski of Harper College, and the Celebration Series of intermediate through advanced literature, students learn music reading, rhythm, theory, listening skills, finger and hand development, improvisation and composition through fun classroom activities. Children progress through varied and progressive musical repertoire from leading contemporary and traditional classical composers.
Private and group instruction for all skill levels
