At Learn The Arts!®, our piano coaching program is designed to inspire and empower students of all ages and skill levels. Whether you aspire to play classical compositions, jazz standards, or contemporary pop hits, our dedicated piano coaches will guide you on your musical journey. Using our innovative Coaching Over Teaching™ approach and 9-Part System, we'll help you develop sight-reading skills, proper technique, and music theory understanding while incorporating your favorite songs into your lessons. Our goal is not just to teach you to play the piano, but to help you become the pianist you want to be.
Learning to play the piano offers numerous benefits beyond musical skill. It enhances cognitive abilities, improves memory, and boosts creativity. Piano practice develops hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. Studies show that piano students often excel in math due to the instrument's connection to pattern recognition and rhythm. Moreover, playing the piano is an excellent stress reliever and a source of personal enjoyment. For young children, it's an ideal starting instrument as producing sound is as simple as pressing a key, making it accessible and rewarding from the very first lesson.
The primary reason to choose Learn The Arts!® for your piano journey is our unique Coaching Over Teaching™ philosophy. Our piano coaches are not just instructors; they're mentors who are passionate about guiding you towards your musical goals. We take the time to understand each student's aspirations and favorite genres, crafting a personalized learning experience. Whether you're a seven-year-old beginner, a teenager aiming to join a band, or an adult returning to the piano after years away, our coaches will support and inspire you every step of the way.
At Learn The Arts!®, we embrace all styles of piano music. From classical and jazz to rock, pop, blues, and contemporary genres, our diverse team of coaches can guide you through any musical style that interests you. We believe in nurturing your personal musical taste while exposing you to a wide range of genres to broaden your musical horizons. Tell us your favorite artists or songs, and we'll incorporate them into your learning journey.
Our piano coaches are carefully selected based on their professional experience, educational background, and most importantly, their ability to connect with students. Many have degrees in music or extensive performance experience. However, what truly sets them apart is their dedication to our Coaching Over Teaching™ philosophy and their genuine passion for nurturing musical growth in others. All our coaches are skilled in working with various age groups and are committed to creating a positive, encouraging learning environment.
In your piano coaching sessions, you'll embark on a comprehensive musical journey tailored to your goals. You'll learn proper technique, sight-reading skills, and music theory, all applied practically to playing the songs you love. Our 9-Part System ensures a well-rounded education, covering everything from basic fingering and posture to advanced composition and improvisation. As you progress, you'll tackle increasingly complex pieces, develop your unique style, and gain confidence in your musical abilities. Throughout your journey, you'll earn recognition through our Musical Ladder System, celebrating your achievements with awards and performance opportunities.
Not at all! We welcome beginners who have never read a note of music. Our coaches will guide you through the process of learning to read music at a comfortable pace. We use a variety of teaching methods, including visual, auditory, and kinesthetic approaches, to help you grasp musical notation in a way that suits your learning style. While reading music is an important skill we'll develop, we also emphasize playing by ear and understanding music intuitively.
While having a piano or keyboard at home is beneficial for practice, it's not necessary to start lessons. For the first few months, a simple full-size electronic keyboard will suffice. As you progress, we can discuss options for upgrading to a digital piano or an acoustic instrument. We offer a variety of keyboards and digital pianos suitable for different skill levels and can provide advice on choosing an instrument that fits your needs and budget.
One of the many benefits we offer our members is "membership pricing" on instruments and equipment. Depending on the keyboard or digital piano, this can be well below internet pricing. For acoustic pianos or high-end digital models, we also offer convenient payment plans. This means you can get the instrument you need to practice and progress without breaking the bank. Our team is always happy to discuss these options and help you find the best solution for your musical journey and budget.
Absolutely! At Learn The Arts!®, we offer our pianists a variety of optional performance opportunities to celebrate progress and build confidence. From our spectacular biannual concert events on professional stages to monthly complimentary performances at community venues, and even exclusive destination recitals at prestigious locations worldwide, there's something for everyone. The best part? You choose where to start based on your comfort level. Some students prefer intimate local settings, while others are eager to jump onto the big stage – it's entirely up to you! There's no pressure; we're all about making your learning experience fun and rewarding. These performances not only showcase your growing skills but also provide valuable real-world experience. Whether you're playing your first notes or preparing for an international debut, Learn The Arts!® is here to support your musical journey and help you shine on any stage you choose!
