New
Piano Curriculum adopted for Young Beginners Age 5 and 6
Are you looking for one of the best ways
to help your child develop an appreciation of music and be a lifelong
learner? I have recently adopted a fantastic Young Beginner Piano
Curriculum which can help to accomplish this with your young children
age 5 and up. It is called
My First Piano Adventure for the Young
Beginner by Nancy and Randal Faber. The Lesson Books and Writing
introduce directional Pre-reading, elementary music theory and technique
with engaging songs, games, and creative discovery at the keyboard and
away from the keyboard. 30 minute lessons with a 15 minute lab are
available for this age group. We also have several group lessons
each year and 2 recitals.
Please call 360.825.8870 or
email me for all the info
and tell your friends about this wonderful
opportunity.
Goals for Students
Good tone quality, proper
posture, solid technique emphasizing the
Taubman
principles, ear training, practice techniques, freedom,
making music rather than just playing notes, sight-reading, rhythmic
competency, proper stage etiquette, along
with confidence and ease in performance. The study of music
touches everything else in life. I encourage self esteem and self
discipline as well as an artistic sensibility and intellect. There
is one thing I strongly believe: the study of music makes one's
life better.
Since one of the lesson goals
is learning to perform, participation in recitals, group lessons and any
performance opportunity is always encouraged. If performance is
not one of your goals, check out
Recreational Music
Making for teens and adults. There will be annual
recitals before Christmas and in late Spring. Group Lessons are
scheduled in November, January, March and May. They offer many
benefits including general music knowledge, music appreciation,
opportunity to observe students of comparable abilities, develop poise,
proper posture, learn appropriate piano etiquette and general
reinforcement of theory and techniques by viewing and hearing other
students and playing games.
A 15 minute lab time is
scheduled in addition to their private lesson time of 30, 45
minutes or 1 hour. This helps to further the goals listed above through
computer programs, focused listening, theory, sight-reading,
rhythmic competency and specific
assignments on the digital piano.
Average Pricing for private
piano lessons here on the plateau is $80.00 per month for a half hour lesson and
$120.00 per month for a 45 minute lesson.
Please call 360.825.8870 or
e-mail
to find out
about lesson times and availability.
