Registration is open on CourseStorm. New to piano? Start with Beginner Class I (Thursdays). Continuing students join the Saturday sections: Class III, Class IV, and Intermediate.
Beginner Class I
Designed for true beginners with little or no previous piano experience. Students will learn basic keyboard geography, note reading, rhythm, and fundamental piano skills in a supportive group setting.
Class III
Intended for students who have completed the beginning levels or have equivalent experience. Students should be familiar with major pentascales and be able to read both treble and bass clefs. This class continues to strengthen reading skills, technique, and musical independence while introducing more varied repertoire and developing overall musicianship.
Class IV
Designed for students who have completed the previous group piano classes or have equivalent experience. Students should be familiar with one-octave C and G major scales in parallel and contrary motion, as well as the primary chords (I, IV, V, and V7). The class focuses on refining technique and musicianship while working on more challenging repertoire, continuing to develop ensemble playing skills, and fostering greater confidence and independence at the piano.
Intermediate Class
Best for students who are comfortable reading music and have a solid technical foundation. Students should be familiar with the C and G major scales in two octaves, played hands together, as well as chord reading, including I, IV, V, V7, and their inversions. The class focuses on developing expressive playing, expanding technical skills, and continuing to build both solo and ensemble repertoire through a wider variety of musical styles.
