PRIVATE PIANO LESSONS
The methodology used in piano teaching is adapted to the needs and abilities of each student, based on the official program, our teachers find the balance between fun, technique of the instrument and musical language. Learning is progressive, and with a little study by the students, results can be seen in a short period of time. Students play classical and modern repertoire, and we use educational apps on the iPad to encourage fun and learning.
Piano lessons are aimed at students of all ages, including those with special needs. We offer an effective, fast and fun way to learn to play the piano.
PIANO LESSONS FOR ALL AGES
Lessons for beginners
Age: children between 4 and 8 years old.
Duration: usually 30 minutes
We recommend that your child starts learning to play the piano in this age range.
Objectives:
- Your teacher will use a variety of games to engage the student’s attention along with a range of piano books to develop their musical skills.
- We will develop musical skills: musical note recognition rhythm recognition
- A variety of games are introduced to learn new musical concepts.
- Learning to play easy-medium difficulty pieces
Practice: starting with 5 minutes every day or even every week. We want to make sure that we don’t force them to play the piano, but that it is like a game. Students need to get used to the habit and this takes time, give them time to make it a habit.
Piano lessons for beginners/intermediate for pupils (8+) and adults
Lesson duration: lessons are generally 45 or 60 minutes, depending on the age of the student.
