Getting Started Is Simple
In the early stages, we keep things simple and manageable so students build familiarity and confidence during class.
At home, most families just do a few minutes of light review—nothing overwhelming.
This may include:
Looking over materials from class
Reviewing simple exercises or patterns
Watching short guided videos we provide
A piano or keyboard is not required right away.
Many families choose to wait a few weeks before setting one up at home, allowing them to see their child’s interest and engagement first.
As students begin progressing, we’ll guide you on when and how to set up a simple keyboard so they can continue building consistency and confidence.
What Happens After the Cohort
At the end of the 6 weeks, we’ll guide you through the next step based on your child’s progress and readiness.
Students who continue are placed into our ongoing Piano Discovery Program, where they build on what they’ve started with more structured progression and continued support.
This cohort is designed to transition directly into our full program for students who continue.
