What to expect at your first party:
-We'll start off the party with introductions as it's important to build a piano community among students.
-After we get to know each other, you'll participate in a group activity. At our last party, students were challenged to solve a tricky rhythm by learning how to write counting into their scores.
-Students then enjoy lectures about piano repertoire, playing with confidence, and perfecting stage presence.
-Students will be asked to perform a piece they have prepared with their teacher during their weekly lesson.
-Then it's the instructors turn to encourage and inspire students by performing for them!
Snacks and discussion follow to conclude the party!
