PIANO CORE PROGRAM

Our Core Piano Classes for students in Tampa Program is designed for piano students in first grade through twelfth grade. Students at this age learn best through a combination of private lessons and group classes.

PRIVATE LESSONS:

In private piano lessons students will be able to learn piano one on one, with the guidance of their piano teacher. Our students progress at their own pace. In private lessons the type of instruction our children receive is one customized to their individual needs. Since the interaction is one on one with their piano teachers, our students have ample opportunities to ask questions as they interact with our talented faculty.

GROUP CLASSES:

In piano group classes, students will reinforce the musical concepts they learn in their private piano lessons, acquire and use their knowledge of Music Theory through games and activities, learn how to make performing in front of others a normal and joyful activity while enjoying music making in a social setting. Piano group classes are so important, that the Academy’s director teaches them.

1. Many aspects of music are better learnt in a group environment. Seeing peers perform pieces of music may contribute to an increased motivation to practice and set up higher goals.

2. Playing piano duets and piano ensembles opens up interest in all different types of piano music, teaches playing in groups, which develops their internal sense of steady beat, one of the most important aspects of learning how to perform music and dance.

3. Music is a language. Through the learning and performance of piano in front of others, our students improve their communication skills, both musically and verbally.

4. TREAT/ PREVENTION OF PERFORMANCE ANXIETY: when we have a problem, we can guard ourselves so that no one and nothing disturbs our anxiety. However, it is more effective to work through the anxiety so that we raise above it. Group piano classes are great for developing confidence in our children. With the expert guidance of Dr. Jain, who is an expert in performance anxiety, our students become confident public performers and speakers.

5. Learning how to take constructive criticism and feedback is a skill our students learn in group classes. This can be of great help in their adult lives and will play a big role in their later years. Our expert piano teachers have the necessary pedagogical training to communicate effectively while opening up our students’ minds and hearts to this important skill.

6. Learning how to play the piano could be a lonely experience. However, participating in piano group piano classes give students a sense of belonging and encourages students to set new and higher goals, which may also translate into academic ones.

BEGINNER’S PIANO PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN

Piano lessons for beginners are best as a combination of private and group classes. Our beginner piano lessons for children, ages 6-18, include a 30-minute weekly private lesson and a 60-minute biweekly group class throughout the Academic Year.

INTERMEDIATE PIANO PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN

This program is also for students who are between 6 and 18 years old. Unlike the beginner program, students in the Intermediate Piano Program take 45-minute weekly private lessons and a 60-minute biweekly group throughout the Academic Year.

ADVANCED PIANO PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN

Students in the Advanced Piano Program have been learning piano for a long time and now need longer lessons. Also design for students through twelfth grade, students in the Advanced programs take a combination of weekly 60 minute private lessons and 60-minute biweekly group classes throughout the Academic Year.

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.
