Beginner Piano (Ages 8–12) We make piano feel easy and fun for kids 8–12! Over 16 weeks, our small, play-based class builds real skills through songs you know, like Mary Had a Little Lamb, Hot Cross Buns, and Ode to Joy. We cover 5‑finger technique, middle C, reading notes and rhythms, sharps and flats, triads, and smooth vs. bouncy touch. 🎹
Each week brings a clear milestone and simple at-home ideas you can repeat. We keep routines calm and supportive. Kids learn together, make friends, and feel proud. We often finish with a low‑pressure in-class sharing for family.
