Group Instrument Classes

Our group instrument classes are a great way to introduce your child to a new instrument.  All of our group instrument teachers also teach private lessons, so if the group class sparks an interest, you'll be able to continue the learning.

Group Keyboard I & II

Students will be encouraged to interact musically with each other through music theory games and songs together as an ensemble.  Students will learn how to read and clap rhythm patterns, read music with finger numbers and progressing towards notation on the grand staff.  They will also learn performance etiquette.  There will be a mini-recital at the end of the session to show off their new talent. 

Group Keyboard II is a continuation of Keyboard I.  Students must have taken Keyboard I or equivalent to take Keyboard II.

45 minute classes, once a week.
