Music Programs

Please see our FUnformation Program Guide for our current music related programming.

PIANO

• Piano Prep Spring Camp - Are you thinking about piano lessons for your child but aren't sure if they are ready? In a stimulating musical environment, your child will sing, dance and play their way towards developing the skills that are fundamental to beginning piano lessons with enjoyment and ease. Activities will focus on games that assist children in developing musically and that encourage a love of music.
• Beginning Piano - These classes will excite brand new beginners and help them discover what piano playing is all about. In a fun, relaxed setting, students will participate in lessons designed to develop their creative skills at the piano and build the ability to play a variety of music with ease. Students must have a piano or keyboard available for practice (these may be rented on the first day of class).
