Piano lessons for Pre Schoolers & Kindergarteners

Our piano lessons for pre-school and kindergarteners are unique because our instructors find creative ways to make the lessons fun, while gently introducing your child to music.

In order to make the learning process engaging, lessons for young children usually include movement, such as clapping, dancing, snapping their fingers, singing, or marching in place.

We tap into your child's imagination and change our teaching techniques to fit each child, so that we may best help them understand music.

Is my child old enough to take piano lessons?

The majority of students are ready to take lessons by the age of 5; however, some may be prepared as young as age 3 or 4.

Our studio accepts students for piano beginning at age 4.

What does my child need to know before beginning lessons?

Students should be able to say their alphabet (from A-G at least) and know how to count to 5 before beginning lessons.

It helps if your child has an interest in music, but even if they do not visibly show it by singing or dancing often, most children enjoy find that they enjoy playing after just a couple of months of lessons!

As a parent, how much do I have to be involved in the lessons?

It is up to you as a parent to make practicing part of your daily schedule. Within a few months, most young students realize that while it takes work to learn to play music, it has very satisfying results.

It is important that you have the time to set aside time in each day to practice with your child to offer encouragement and a guiding hand. Most young children are not as motivated as older children to do the correct kind of practice: part of the music lesson process at young ages is to help develop attention to detail & attention span for practice, as well as patience with themselves as the learning process is new to them.

How long will it take my child to be able to read music?

Some children can read music in as little as one week, and for others it takes a year or two. It depends on the child, and you should allow them to learn at their own pace. Our teachers are trained to introduce music to each student in a gentle, but encouraging manner, where each student is challenged but not to the point of discouragement.

What method book do you use?

Each instructor is familiar with different method books, and it depends on the student. Most instrutors use Alfred, Bastien, John Thompson or the Faber & Faber Method.

Generally we are familiar with but not fond of the Suzuki method because it does not foster music reading.

We are flexible with the methods used.
