The piano faculty have met and we have great plans for group piano this spring! Some classes will be performance classes, and others will have topic discussions, games, or other activities. Perhaps equally as important, this is a great opportunity to build an atmosphere of community and collaboration among our piano students. I believe last semester was a great success, and both teachers and students have benefited from this format.
A few details:
- Students are invited but not required to come to all four group piano classes that we offer.
- Because of these classes our studio schedule will occasionally differ from the official MANC calendar. Contact me if you have any questions.
- Several studios are participating (Wisuthseriwong, Blankenship, Leddy, and my own studio) this year and often we will separate junior" and "senior" classes. This way students can work in smaller groups with students around their age.
- For the most part we ask that group classes be students-only. We will invited parents and families in on certain days, but we have found that students were more open and engaged when it was just "the kids."
- Unless otherwise noted, all group classes will be held on Saturday mornings at 9:30 am.
This spring's piano class dates include:
- Feb 27
- March 19
- April 16
- May 14
