About this Event
Beginner Piano Class for children ages 6 - 10
* Class size limited to 9 participants *
Six 1-hour classes on Wednesdays at 5:30 PM beginning November 4.
***Free 1st day lesson if this is the only lesson you attend.
- For ages 6-10
- Older students allowed
- Younger allowed pending an evaluation.
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.
By the end of the class, students will be able to play simple melodies with one hand at a time. Our primary goal is to foster a love for learning and playing the piano, making the experience enjoyable and engaging.
Additionally, this class serves as a wonderful opportunity for parents to assess whether studying piano is a suitable choice for their children, and it will adequately prepare them for possible private lessons in the future.
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!
Attention!
*** Free admission is only for the first lesson for those who decide not to continue group lessons after the first lesson.
The cost for the entire six weeks course is $120.
Payment is accepted by cash, check, PayPal or Venmo. Please have your payment ready with you at the first lesson on November 4. If unable to register online, please call us to reserve a place! The method book used for this class is the Bastian Piano Method. Each a student will receive a copy at no additional cost. Contact us at 717-514-8988 or [email protected] for if you have questions.
FAQs
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 eligible for 10% discount.
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!
