Semi-Private Piano Lessons
Always wanted to play the piano but never had the chance, or maybe you tried teaching yourself online but didn’t get far? Looking for a fun hobby to enjoy after work?
Sign up for a group class where you will learn the basics of piano playing.
Why take semi-private classes?
​
Small class size
Compared to other schools with group piano, our class sizes are small with a maximum of four students per class. This allows each student to have enough time with the instructor while gaining the benefits of learning in a group environment. Each student will have their own keyboard or piano in the class.
​
Longer classes
With more than double the amount of time in a semi-private vs., private class, this leaves more time to cover a range of musical skills like sight reading, playing by ear, music theory and technical exercises.
​
More affordable than private classes
The hourly rate for private class is $90 per hour, while small group class is $41 per hour.
​
Flexible
Semi-private classes are taught on a weekly basis, but if you can’t attend one week and provide advance notice, you can also drop-in a different class during the week.
​
Motivation
Being in a class setting where your peers are progressing and set a benchmark for learning, can provide additional inspiration to keep you motivated and practicing during the week. Students are encouraged to share videos and tips in a chat group.
​
Develop aural and rhythm skills
In the semi-private class, students play together so this requires active listening to ensure everyone is playing together at a steady pace with the correct rhythm and pitches.
​
Fun and social
Be part of a community of piano lovers and make new friends while pursuing your interest. Every year we have piano party recitals to celebrate our achievements.
Who are the classes suitable for?
• Adult beginner students with less than two years experience or no background.
• Adults who can commit to a regular weekly lesson time slot in the weekday evening.
• Students with prior piano experience will be assessed and will be added to the group that is appropriate for their level.
​
What you need to get started
• Digital weighted keyboard/piano or acoustic piano can be rented from Long and McQuade.
