GROUP LESSONS
Group lessons provide a fun, collaborative environment where students build ensemble skills, rhythm, listening, and musical confidence while enjoying shared creative experiences.
Piano Club
Parents can enroll their child in our weekly Piano Club—available exclusively for students in private monthly lessons. With just 6 spots per age group, it’s a fun, small-group setting where students review and reinforce what they’re learning alongside peers—making practice feel fun, interactive, and enjoyable.
Students enjoy music theory games, sight-reading, improvisation, learning about composers and pieces, and even trying their hand at composing—all while building confidence and making music with friends!
Core Building
We recommend students starting with or alongside private lessons with our 6 week Core Building group class!
Students build essential musical skills while learning alongside their peers. They’ll explore music reading, rhythm, ear training, musical vocabulary, and other foundational concepts in an engaging, hands-on environment. Learning these core skills together helps students build confidence, understand new concepts more quickly, and get even more out of their private lessons.
Music with Me & You
Join us for a joyful Mommy & Me music class designed for our youngest learners and their caregivers! This weekly class introduces little ones to music through singing, movement, simple instruments, and playful activities—all in a nurturing, hands-on environment shared with a parent or caregiver.
Together, you’ll explore rhythm, early listening skills, and musical connection while bonding through fun, interactive experiences that spark a lifelong love of music.
