Instruction
Professional piano instruction is offered for students of any level, ages 4 to adult.
Lessons are available in the City of Falls Church, Virginia (close to the West Falls
Church Metro) and in south Arlington, Virginia (close to the I-395 & Route 7
interchange).
The Studio has a unique curriculum which combines group and individual
instruction for most students. Most beginners start out in full-time groups and
gradually transition to individual lessons; most intermediate and advanced students
attend weekly individual lessons and occasional supplementary groups. Other
individualized arrangements are also possible on a student-by-student basis.
Rates for lessons vary according to the length of the lesson.
It is the mission of the studio to educate all students, regardless of age or ability,
so that they may experience the fun and joy of making music and so that they may
be prepared for a lifetime of critical listening and appreciation.
Students learn varied repertoire, which includes classical, jazz, and contemporary
styles, and, over time, learn how these genres fit together, both historically and
musically. Students gain the necessary aural and technical skills to play the piano in
a sophisticated and credible manner, at any level of performance, from early
elementary to advanced. Music reading is a major part of any music education, and
all students attain fluency in music reading. Students learn to listen critically and to
understand and identify differences in genres and time periods. Students will attain
an understanding of music as part of the Western cultural heritage, and of their
place in the perpetuation of this part of the culture. And most of all, the process of
acquiring these skills will be fun and filled with the joy of small successes!
