Our young beginner's piano program engages the student with more than just piano playing. During the lesson, the child will explore rhythm playing, singing, and note reading.At this age, children need more individual attention as they vary in temperament, attention span and independence. An assessment is required to ensure the child is ready to begin lessons.

Drums, keyboard, guitar, bass and voice are suitable to students ages 8 years+, or younger students with at least one year of piano training. Lessons will be focused on developing technique through scales and exercises, learning songs of different rock and popular styles, artists and tempos. For the developing student, recording and writing music can be added to the lesson plan. 

​Learning a musical instrument successfully is more than simply practicing and playing sheet music. Private lessons are typically focused on ability, technique and musicality. Because of this, we found that students need reinforcement instruction in many other areas of understanding music besides their regular weekly lesson. Students are assigned to a small group class with others of comparable levels.

"From beginner to advanced, The Royal Conservatory of Music provides an internationally renowned standard of music education and achievement."

At each level, students are supported to help them develop into well-rounded musicians.

With a focus on nurturing creativity and developing self-confidence, the RCM program allows students to work at their own pace.

We offer tailored private piano instruction from the beginning level of playing. For students under the age of 8 years old, we highly recommend starting with piano first before switching to another instrument. Our fundamental piano course nurtures confidence in sight-reading skills, solid rhythm, technique, practical theory, but also memorization and playing by ear. The developing student may choose to expand playing into a variety of styles as part of the lesson.

We consider piano, drums and voice to be the foundational instruments for first time beginners. These instruments set a good base for learning music and developing solid rhythm, pitch and coordination. For students under 7 years old, we recommend beginning with at least one year of piano training before moving on to another instrument.

We are also offering instruction in ukulele, violin, cello, harp and flute. Each of these instruments are very different, yet taught with the same teaching principles as our foundational instruments. It is important for students to understand rhythm and note-reading to build a solid baseline for successful learning

Our lesson program is customizable to fit the varied skill and ability of our adult students. Whether your goal is to study music lightheartedly or to invest in a more serious pursuit, our teachers will help you to achieve your goals at your own pace. So many adults regret not learning to play a musical instrument as a child, but it's never too late to start!
