How it works

Learn skill continuously

Stay motivated and challenged

Level up when you’re ready

Modern piano lesson can be truely amazing!

At VIRTUOSO Piano Lessons we know that parents want their child to love piano lessons and grow as musicians. In order to do that, you need to make learning fun and rewarding for kids.

The problem with traditional private piano lessons is that they can quickly become boring and tedious when student’s progress starts to slow down. This makes kids feel too challenged and they give up before they develop enough skills to easily play the music they love, which is what keeps them playing piano for a lifetime.

We understand this challenge of getting kids to this “self-motivation” point in their musical journey, which is why we focus on continuously developing 8 core musical skills in every semester of Little VIRTUOSO.

Here’s how we do it:

  1. Learn 8 new core skills every semester as we cycle through 5 levels of musical challenge throughout the year.

  2. Play music as a group using multi-level sheet music so everyone plays with just the right amount of challenge for thier current level.

  3. Once a level is mastered, children are moved up to the next level of challenge while staying within the same age group of friends.

So, enroll in the upcoming semester of Little VIRTUOSO so you can prevent piano burnout before it starts and offer your child a pathway to musical freedom at the piano and a lifetime of joyful music-making.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

  • Determining whether group piano lessons are the right fit for your child involves considering their individual learning style, social preferences, and musical goals.

    Group lessons can be beneficial for children who thrive in a collaborative and interactive environment, enjoying the camaraderie of learning alongside peers.

    If your child is sociable and gains inspiration from observing others, a group setting may enhance their musical experience. Additionally, group lessons often include ensemble activities, fostering teamwork and communication skills.

    Assess your child's comfort level with sharing their musical journey with others, as group lessons provide opportunities for performance and mutual encouragement.

    However, if your child requires more individualized attention or has specific learning needs, private lessons might be a better fit.

    Ultimately, observing your child's enthusiasm, considering their personality, and aligning the learning environment with their preferences will guide you in deciding whether group piano lessons are the ideal path for their musical exploration.

  • In VIRTUOSO group piano lessons, your child will embark on a comprehensive musical journey designed to instill a deep understanding and appreciation for the art of piano playing.

    All our group lessons are rooted in the acclaimed Hoffman Academy curriculum, our classes offer a structured foundation that covers essential skills such as note reading, rhythm, and piano technique. The curriculum is thoughtfully crafted to engage young learners, ensuring a balance between theory, practical application, and creative expression.

    Through interactive activities and ensemble playing, your child will develop not only technical proficiency but also a keen sense of musicality and teamwork. The group setting provides a dynamic platform for students to share their progress, learn from one another, and collaborate in making music.

    We supply all printed materials for the lessons, and exclusive access to at-home study videos from the esteemed Hoffman Academy is included.

    It's important to note that, to fully engage with the lessons, students will need an instrument to play at home. While we recommend an 88-key weighted keyboard, such as the Yamaha P45, or an acoustic piano for optimal practice, we understand budget considerations.

    In cases where acquiring these instruments may pose a challenge, we encourage you to consult with our instructor for personalized recommendations on budget-friendly at-home instruments, ensuring that your child has the best possible tools for musical exploration.

  • Active participation and consistent practice are key expectations for your child throughout our group piano lessons.

    During lessons, we encourage your child to engage wholeheartedly in the learning process, asking questions, participating in activities, and collaborating with their peers.

    Outside of class, regular practice is essential for reinforcing new concepts and building a strong foundation. We recommend daily practice sessions of 15 minutes, with the duration adjusted based on your child's age and progressing skill level. This commitment to consistent practice not only solidifies their understanding but also enhances their overall progress.

    Additionally, we encourage a positive attitude and a willingness to explore the creative aspects of music. We understand that every child learns at their own pace, and our dedicated instructors are here to support and guide them on their musical journey. Your child's success is a partnership, and with your support and their commitment, we can foster a love for music that lasts a lifetime.

  • Our group piano lessons are scheduled consistently on the same day and time throughout each 8-week consecutive course.

    To find the specific dates and times for your child's class, we recommend referring to the group calendar, where you'll discover a detailed schedule of lessons. This approach ensures a predictable routine, allowing both you and your child to plan and prioritize these valuable musical sessions.
