The Piano: Areas of Study

Note Reading

In order to play all the music you love, it’s essential that you learn how to read notation on the treble and bass staff. Learning to read notation will open up an entire world of music to you. Once you get the hang of reading you will be able to play anything you desire from Mozart to Billy Joel. Your piano instructor will guide you through the process of learning to read music until you become confident.

Technique

Playing the piano requires the proper use and development of your fingers, hands, wrists, and arms. Your instructor will show you the correct way to approach playing the piano so you can play for years to come without injuring yourself. Playing with proper technique will also add to your overall performance and speed at which you can play.

Music Theory

Understanding the basics of music theory is an important area of study when learning how to play the piano. Chord structures, scales, arpeggios, cadences, and dynamics all contribute to the way you will perform a piece. Your instructor will introduce you to the basics of music theory to put you on the right path. For more advanced musicians, our instructors can teach you how to analyze even the most complex sonata.

Performance

Whether you are a total beginner or an advanced pianist, our instructors will work on a wide range of repertoire.

Our beginner students learn music from many of the highly regarded piano methods including Alfred, Faber, Bastien, Thompson, and Suzuki. Pieces for intermediate pianists include early music by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven etc.

Our advanced students are studying and performing songs from all of the great classical composers, jazz standards and almost any popular and rock song they request. Our students are also given yearly opportunities to perform their music in recitals.

Composition
