Where to take piano lessons in Tampa has never been an easier choice. NTPPA was established to make piano lessons from qualified teachers available to students of all levels and ages. Our best classes are reserved for beginners and advanced learners alike. The qualified instructors for adults at our academy are also the same qualified instructors for children. From preschoolers to adults, and for all levels of proficiency, we offer meaningful learning experiences through our piano lessons and group classes! 

 

HOW YOUNG IS TOO YOUNG TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY THE PIANO? 

We recommend that all parents expose their children to music from birth, and particularly the piano, starting at the age of 4. 

It is never too early or too late to learn music. The way we learn changes from age to age, so it is important to be exposed to the right kind of information, when the brain is ready to absorb this information and benefit from it. Piano learning provides a wealth of benefit for the brain, and the scientific community has uncovered much of this potential in recent years. At our Academy our youngest student is 4 years old, and we offer classes to students well after their retirement age.  Our programs and methodologies embrace all stages of learning. 

New Tampa Piano and Pedagogy Academy offers piano instruction through our Preparatory Program (for children 4-6 years old), Core Programs (for students in first through twelfth grade) and Adult Programs (for students 18 years old and older). Each program is designed to accommodate the specific learning needs children of different ages and adults have. 

 

GENERAL BENEFITS OF PIANO LESSONS:  

Scientific evidence states the many neurological benefits of piano lessons for students of all ages; whether you are looking to receive instruction in private piano lessons as a beginner, intermediate or advanced levels, or piano classes in groups. Learning how to play the piano may strengthen and create new connections in our brains, and increase our capacity to concentrate, focus, and apply information in new settings. Taking piano lessons and coupling that with daily practice required at home, can boost patience, attention, and discipline in our lives. For children and adults with reduced motor skills, learning how to play the piano may challenge these brain connections, increase motor movement and even strengthen coordination. Finally, learning how to express inner feelings and emotions through music may teach us a healthy way to express ourselves in a productive and meaningful way in other areas of our lives.
