Overview:

12-Week Course. Positive, upbeat small group instruction in piano technique and general music theory culminating in a recital at session end.

YP's recommendation on age to begin piano:

For the average child, they are more likely to be successful in our group classes beginning at 7 or 8 yrs. That said, it very much depends on the child's personality and their interest level (not the parents'--sorry guys) whether they could begin sooner. It's much easier to tailor lessons to a younger child's needs in private lesson format. Please feel free to reach out and discuss your child's unique situation.

​

We also recommend younger children begin with Ms. Megan in Music & Movement, anyway, where they explore music on many instruments and begin learning music theory there before the greater challenge of tackling technique on a specific instrument.

​

BRAND NEW STUDENTS TO PIANO are strongly encouraged to enroll in 4 private lessons first before joining the class so the instructor can orient them to initial piano, music, and YP curriculum basics. The class setting requires a small amount of self-motivation, understanding, and focus while the instructor makes rounds and assesses individual practice needs.

We are currently using The Music Tree piano method curriculum. Each student is asked to buy their own books--The Music Tree: Time to Begin and The Music Tree: Time to Begin ACTIVITIES, as pictured. They work in tandem. These books can be found all over online and in music stores. If you need help acquiring them, please contact us. We do not get through these whole books in 1 session. You will be able to use them for multiple!

​

The Yampitheater will provide keyboards for each student during lessons, but please send students with their own corded headphones or earbuds to use at times during the lesson. Again, if this is a problem, contact us.​
