PIANO AND MUSIC PREPARATORY PROGRAM

Classes in our piano preparatory program are taught by qualified piano teachers with Masters and Doctorate degrees, following the way students this age naturally learn. This piano program is available to children in pre school through first grade. preparatory piano classes for students in Tampa are carefully planned, keeping in mind these young learners’ minds. This age is ideal for learning new skills as children go from absorbing and observing their environment to engaging and participating in it. Their learning style is hands on, so lecturing and waiting for too long to play the piano is not the way to teach them. These piano classes for young children celebrate your child’s growing independence and the benefits of learning along with other students of the similar age, in a small group setting. The length of the activities in these classes are short and varied, reflecting the short attention span natural of children of this age. There is no pressure for formal daily at home practice. Students from our Piano Preparatory Program graduate into our Core program.

Performance and Examinations

Piano examinations and performance opportunities are available to our piano students in order to contribute to their academic excellence and well-rounded musical education. Students who are interested may enroll in the Royal Conservatory of Music exams; an internationally recognized examination system with graded levels, which covers all aspects of music learning. In the Royal Conservatory of Music international examination system, exams are held several times a year at our Academy, proctored by an examiner provided by the RCM. Students who take this piano exam receive a grade, certificate, and written feedback from professionally trained adjudicators that are not one of the piano instructors at our Piano Academy. When applying to college, a track record of exams taken shows a level of commitment and expertise to the college and universities our students apply to.

Student Recitals - Student piano recitals are held twice a year, in the months of December and June. Students perform both individually and in groups. Recitals are ‘the cherry on top of the cake.’ Long hours of preparation and the love for music sharing are showcased while developing our students’ confidence and sense of pride in the work completed.

Piano College Preparation - As our students approach college, our faculty may help students prepare repertoire to be recorded as part of their college package material. For students applying for a music degree, our faculty help prepare audition pieces and other musical requirements. Some students choose our Piano Academy for their post high-school piano studies. We design college-level curriculum that encompasses all areas of music training, with emphasis on piano performance and piano teaching.
