Small Group 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 small group 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 group 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 

Group 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  group class during the week. 

​

Motivation

Being in a group 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 group 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.
