Piano studies teaches students in all grades how to play the piano with the goal of enjoying the art of piano performance as a lifetime skill and interest. Pianists will learn to play a repertoire from the Baroque, classical, romantic, contemporary, jazz and popular eras. This course includes music theory, keyboard techniques, sight-reading and performance and accompaniment skills.
The curriculum conforms to the requirements of the National College of Musicians and the National Guild of Piano Teachers. Course content is adapted for each student individually, as is the daily practice requirement. Students will participate in recitals in both the winter and spring semesters.
Because piano studies is taught as one private lesson during each rotation during the school year, it is offered on a supplemental tuition basis only. Four years of piano studies will fulfill one fine art credit. Piano studies may be taken at the same time as other fine arts courses if so desired.
