The Importance of Learning with Classical Music
Classical music is by far the best foundation for learning piano. It is filled with incredible value artistically, intellectually, and musically. The masterpieces of great classical repertoire are treasures that have stood the test of time and provide a rich understanding of music. In our studio, once basic skills and note recognition have been acquired, classical music is introduced. Classical music builds the necessary framework for exploring any music successfully, including jazz and pop. Through this approach, students will grasp technique effortlessly, develop true expressive skills, and learn theory from music's best teachers: classical composers.
What Do Lessons Include?
As all students have different skill levels and natural abilities, lessons are curated specifically for each individual person. Within that, each week of lessons is built to cover the fundamental structures of piano playing such as technique, theory, sight-reading, and the application of those things into a musical repertoire. Students will comfortably understand these key components and learn to play independently.
Technique
Technique is very valuable to establish good habits early on and to progress effectively in piano. Technique focuses on posture, dexterity and coordination, pedaling, music articulation, and more.
Theory
While music theory can be a very complex subject, piano theory doesn't have to be complicated to be useful. Things such as scale and chord structure and rhythm are introduced as they appear in music.
Sight-Reading
Sight-reading builds a strong foundation by teaching students to quickly interpret rhythmic patterns. It also helps build confidence and accuracy. Strong sight-reading encourages long-term playing!
