What You'll Learn in Our Piano Classes for Kids

In Keyboard for Children, students build finger dexterity, learn to read the treble and bass clef, and start expressing themselves through music — all alongside classmates their own age. It’s built as beginner piano lessons for kids, so whether your child has never touched a keyboard or has dabbled at home, they’ll fit right in. Group sections meet weekly for 17 weeks each semester, making this one of the most convenient piano classes for kids on the Upper West Side.

FINE MOTOR SKILLS​

Through warm up games and technical exercises, to increase finger dexterity necessary for learning more advanced piano repertoire in the future, each student's fine motor skills are developed.

BASIC MUSIC THEORY​

Each student will learn about the music staff, treble and bass clef, develop rhythm through clapping and counting, explore major and minor keys, and more. ​

SELF EXPRESSION​

Not only will students come away able to play simple songs, but they will also gain an appreciation of expressing their feelings through music making.

We offer Need-based financial assistance

Our goal is to make music education accessible and to remove the financial barrier that may prevent students from participating. Therefore, we offer need-based financial aid to as many students as possible.
