“Miss Karen” is semi-retiring, still teaching individual lessons, but donating a few hours a week teaching these wonderful classes.

We are families, seniors, teens, toddlers, and kids. Thank you for your interest in learning more about our foundational music programs. I am excited about the possibility of working with you or your family. I love to hear what students’ goals in music are so we are sure to be helping them on that path. I am always happy to answer any questions about lessons – just me know how I can help you!

Sunrise

Pre-keyboard music and movement (2-3 years)

Sunrise is an exciting and innovative pre-school music & movement program with a flexible format that fits the level of development of these children perfectly. Sunrise is a parent-with-child class for children ages 2 to early 4. Join us for a series of three 10-week sessions that are 45 minutes once a week.

Sunshine

Early piano with rhythm, pitch, song, and activities (3-4 years)

Sunshine, the youngest of the keyboard programs, is the earliest of the MYC® Method for 3-4-year-old beginners-with-adult. We use stories, songs and activities with our music friend characters to build understanding for their foundation in music reading and playing the piano. Students experience activities in technique, pitch, rhythm, and song.

 

Mouse N Bear

Beginning Piano program (4-6 years)

Students-with-adult are introduced to piano geography, pitch, and rhythm to help set their foundation of music knowledge and education. The pace of learning for the child matches their developmental stages. We introduce “big kid” terminology for concepts, finger numbers, and keyboard geography all with our music friend characters.

Kids at the Keys

Beginner program for older students (7-11 years)

Kids a the Keys is designed to support the students’ growing sense of independence. The class does not require the parent in class - but you are welcome to stay around or even participate! I love to have fun with music learning. We use songs, ensembles, and keyboarding and incorporate piano theory, technique, and harmonization. We continue to use songs and activities to build understanding. This is a beginning electric piano class learning how to use those voices and rhythms in the keyboard you have around the house! This class is also great as an enrichment class to traditional piano lessons.

Adults at the Keys

Small group keyboard program for adults

These classes are designed for adult learners. The class has solid piano skills emphasized in every class time. The goal is to have fun learning to play the ‘Keys’ with others using enjoyable music. The pace of these classes work well for working adults and retired seniors.

We work with students of all ages to grow in musical skills and teach them how to use music for their own enjoyment.
