How young do you start piano?

This is a question I hear a lot.

I personally think that there is little value to starting private piano lesson earlier than Kindergarten or first grade. Fine motor skills and attention span need to be developed before piano lessons can be successful. HOWEVER, due to interest in younger piano study, I have developed introduction classes for kids as young as 3. In these classes we sing, move, learn basic rhythmic notation and learn the notes on the piano. We even play very simple songs. These classes are relaxed, fun without the pressure for performance. Children who begin piano with this introduction will be ready for group classes or private lessons when they start Kindergarten. I also offer Kindermusik for kids 0 to 7. Kindermusik is a wonderful introduction to ANY instrument.

Over the summer, we will be holding a series of trial classes at the Cherubs Clubhouse for kids 3 and up to try piano classes before signing up for an entire term. Our classes will be held June 17, June 24, July 22 and July 29. A full schedule is listed at https://imaginationsmusic.musicteachershelper.com. No materials are required for these classes. No piano at home is required for the summer course. 30 minute classes are $10.00 per class and 45 minute classes are $15.00. You can come to as little as one class. Classes are not successive, so feel free to join us at any time!

In our classes we will learn the basics about the piano, improv our own songs, compose our own songs, and play simple songs. Come try out a class and join us for our fall semester!
