This small group class introduces students to piano in a supportive, low-pressure environment. Using both baby grand pianos and individual keyboards with headphones, students will build skills at their own pace while also learning alongside others.

Students will learn foundational techniques such as hand position, coordination, rhythm, and basic patterns on the keyboard. The focus is on playing—learning simple songs, experimenting with sound, and developing comfort and confidence at the instrument—rather than formal music reading.

Grounded in Perseverance, Collaboration, and Voice, students will:

• Build skills through consistent practice, working through challenges and developing confidence over time.

• Learn alongside peers by sharing space, supporting one another, and playing together in a respectful, collaborative environment.

• Explore their musical voice by making choices about how they play, experimenting with sound, and expressing themselves through the instrument.

Students will work toward attainments such as persisting through challenges in skill-building, working collaboratively with others in a shared creative space, and expressing ideas and identity through music.

This class is designed for beginners—no prior experience is necessary. The focus is on exploration, repetition, and building comfort with the piano over time.
