Group Lesson Descriptions

GROUP PIANO (Ages 5 to Adult)

Students taking group piano (for English-language speakers) follow the nationally recognized Mayron Cole Piano Method. Lessons take place in our new Yamaha digital piano lab. Students experience a comprehensive course of study resulting in superior sight-reading, rhythm, theory, and ensemble skills, all while having a ton of fun! Five and early six-year olds attend lessons with their parent or care giver, and begin in our EZ Keys pre-reading course. Older students begin in our Menehune, Level 1A, or Accelerated course. Parents are highly encouraged to attend a portion of the class for students of any age. For more information about our group piano classes, CLICK HERE. Instructor: Kristina Arellano

BEGINNING GROUP GUITAR (Ages 5^th Grade to Adult)

Students taking group guitar use a combination of different method books. Our comprehensive course of study develops strong note-reading, play-by-ear, and ensemble skills. In addition students develop a solid theoretical background. As students progress they are invited to bring in their own music to lessons to share with the group. Instructor: Kristina Arellano

Tuition: $11.50 per 45-minute lesson
