Private Piano Lessons | Preschool 3s, 4s & Pre-K

Start your child on the path to a full life of music! These private, one-on-one classes for young beginners or returning students capture your child’s playful spirit. They are taught by our expert piano instructor, who attended Mannes Conservatory of Music. Your child will be introduced to directional pre-reading, elementary music theory, and technique with engaging songs, games, and creative discovery at the piano keys. Your child will also learn ear training and eye training throughout the course. A piano or keyboard will be provided.
