Music Makers at the Keyboard:  for beginning piano students ages 6-8. Children with prior Musikgarten classes will come to this program ready to play the songs they have learned to sing, dance, and love.  Small group lessons at the keyboard capitalize on your child’s delight in making music with others and allow children to gallop through the beginning levels with delight!  Now the children will be learning rhythmic and melodic solfege with greater skill and focus than before.  The solfege and fingerings for each melody or chord will be learned in advance of playing it on the piano or keyboard.

Each child must be focused in our song circle to be able to listen and learn the basic concepts needed for successful performance at the keyboard.  We will learn to sing in tune, practice beat and rhythm on drums or sticks, participate in group dances, learn about musical form, compose and improvise with simple melodic patterns and chords, and learn to love and play all styles of piano music.

Class length is 75 minutes, with 15 minutes at the end reserved during the first few weeks for required sharing time with parents.  Each student is encouraged to perform in this friendly learning environment.

Materials are $120.00 for this one-year program and includes two music books, four music CDs, and several sets of music learning cards. One year, which is 40 weeks of classes, is requested for this program.

Tuition is $70.00 a month.  This is equivalent to $21.00 per class.  Semester payments are discounted by $20.00 per payment.  Detailed tuition chart available on tuition page.

Children are required to have an acoustic piano or a full-size keyboard with weighted keys for daily home practicing.

40 weeks of classes or lessons are taught during the year.  30-minute private lessons replace the class every few weeks, and the transition to partner or private lessons is made as needed.
