Summer Piano Safari
Age 4-6
Piano Safari Friends (Pre-K/Kindergarten beginners)
Piano Safari Friends introduces children in Pre-K and Kindergarten to the piano, in collaborative classes which lay the foundation for successful piano study. Through rote playing, improvisation, and follow-the-leader pieces, as well as movement, singing and rhythm patterns, children will learn the layout of the keyboard, diatonic note letter names, and piano technique, while continuing to strengthen their music development.
Piano Safari Level 1 (Kindergarteners who have completed Piano Safari Friends, Beginning First Graders)
This summer class is an introduction to our group piano program for children entering the 1st grade in the fall. As with Piano Safari Friends, this class continues rote playing, improvisation and technique exercises, while introducing students to reading through finger numbering, directional reading and finally reading on the staff.
To register for this summer class for children entering Kindergarten in the fall, please email the registrar at [email protected].
Summer Piano Safari will be a group class only, and will not incorporate partner piano lessons as it does during the school year. Maximum class size for the summer is 6 students.
This 50-minute class meets once a day in the afternoon for one week in the summer.
