About this Event
Beginner Piano/Keyboard Class for children ages 6 - 10
* Class size limited to 10 participants *
Eight 1-hour classes on Fridays at 5:30 PM beginning October 11 and ending December 6.
- For ages 6-10
- Older students allowed
- Younger allowed pending an evaluation.
Instructor: Andrey Lubimtsev
Assisting Instructor: Corinne Lubimtsev
FALL-SESSION: This is hands-on learning from the start as everyone has their own keyboard to use in class. Some of the topics covered include music theory, notation, melody & chords, hand position and posture.
For students who complete book 1, they will have a basic understanding of the keyboard and basic music theory. Young students will be able to play simple melodies one hand at a time; older children will be able to play a simple melody with basic accompaniment.
Group classes for beginners offer a number of advantages over starting with private lessons. Besides the cost savings, the group environment provides more time to learn with an instructor. Playing along with others is also a benefit to learning, and it’s more fun!
The method book used for this class is the Bastian Piano Method.
Each a student will receive a copy at no additional cost.

Do I need to have a piano at home?
You will need to have access to a piano or a keyboard with full-size keys so that you can practice between classes. Keyboards will be provided during the classes, so the only thing you will need to bring with you each week is the book.
If you don't have access to a piano or keyboard but would still like to take the class, contact us to see what options might be available. We can provide info on where to purchase an appropriate instrument for around $130.
Can younger students participate?
Maybe. Younger (age 5) may be able to take the class but an evaluation is needed first. Please contact us for more information about this.
What about older children?
Older kids are allowed, but they usually don't like being in the same class with mostly 6-8 years old. If this is not a problem, then feel free to sign-up.
Is there a discount for additional family members?
Yes! Additional family members (siblings) are half price.
I'm interested but the time doesn't work for me, or I’m in a different age group.
Please let us know! We will have new classes starting after this one and the details for these will be determined in part by the interest shown ahead of time. We'd like to put together an adult class sometime soon!
Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?
We'd love to hear from you! Direct emails to [email protected] or call us at 717-514-8988.
