The piano academy’s goal is based on a “holistic” approach to piano playing. This includes a thorough understanding of music theory, identification of intervals by ear, and the ability to sight read music scores fluently. Lessons serve to build a solid foundation in reading, technique, creativity, musical expression and artistry. Music is Energy and students can learn where the energy is located in their bodies to match the expression of music.
Music and the Mind
Scientific studies have proven that a music education increases a student’s academic performance, development of motor skills, emotional intelligence, perseverance, and work ethic. Whether your child pursues a career in music or not, they are sure to develop crucial life skills along their musical journey.
