Private Lesson 1.        Individual Instruction- During this 30 minute period of traditional instruction, the student is taught both the fundamentals & discipline of music and playing the piano.  The teacher listens and evaluates the progress of the student’s assigned pieces and guides him/her in developing their musicianship, piano technique and their general understanding &   enjoyment of music. 2.         Independent Lab- Up to 15 minutes will be spent independently in addition to the regular lesson.  During this time the student is given an enjoyable and challenging opportunity to work with a variety of music software programs through the use of a digital piano & computer.  As an effective compliment to the individual instruction, the purpose of this optional time is to reinforce the learning of theory, rhythm, ear training, sight-reading skills, music history and music appreciation.   Pre-Recital Group Lesson Group Lesson- 2 weeks prior to a piano recital, students will have an approximately 1 hour group lesson in place of their regularly scheduled private lesson.  During this time, students are given the opportunity to play for their peers and receive input from the other teacher.  This time is a tremendous help in preparing our students for recitals.
