Group Sessions

I wish we had the opportunity to have group sessions regularly. It is a nice change of pace for students to join together rather than having an individual lesson. Piano students often feel quite isolated as they practice solo day after day and attend lessons in the same way. It is good for them to associate with their piano peers and to get to know them better so they can be supportive of one another. Additionally, there are many fun ways to reinforce performance skills, theory knowledge, music history, listening skills, etc. in a group experience.

With the information you provided, I have done my best to schedule students according to ages and levels. Two of the groups had multiple scheduling conflicts and I have had to split them into Session A and Session B. This meant that I had to add a Friday session. Please look over the schedule that follows. If your assigned time absolutely will not work for you, let me know asap. If it does work for you, congratulate me!!
