This innovative approach to beginning piano study takes place in the CMS digital keyboard lab and prepares students to transition to private lessons. The group class provides children, ages 7-15 years, with the opportunity to learn piano concepts in a social environment through ear training, singing, rhythm work, games, ensembles, performance, technique, theory and improvisation. Fall 2017 classes begin on September 11, 2017 (Saturday classes begin on Saturday 16).
