Teaching in Action
See below for students participating in a music games, rhythm work and performing a piece learned by rote!
Musical Games
Raina has been hard at work learning new paired eighth-note rhythms. She has been counting 1+2+ and saying “tee tee tah...” while she plays, practicing slowly and carefully, and working with her KJOS IPS app! Here she is, clapping the rhythms to one of our music theory games: "Rhythm Vocab".
Reading & Rhythms
Scott is learning through Faber Piano Adventures, currently in Level 1! Faber's curriculum is one of the most popular reading-based methods, full of great pedagogical ideas and loads of additional resources. Here he is, playing the drums to "Forest Drums Rhythm".
Learning By Rote
Sierra is learning through Piano Safari, with patterned pieces taught by rote that provide engaging music for students from the first lesson, improvisation ideas for developing creativity, animal themed Technique Exercises for piano technique, and much more! Here she is, playing "I Like Bananas".

Role of the Student
We work hard to infuse our lessons with FUN, while ensuring our curriculum is pedagogically sound; however, students must still practice consistently to make progress. To view videos of students at Beginner, Elementary, Intermediate and Advanced levels, please click here!
Alternate Lesson Formats
While most students do excel in our main curriculum, we do have options outside of traditional private lessons, including: shared lessons, parent-child duets, adult lessons, and composition lessons! If you'd like to watch some of these videos, please click here!
