Dear families:
Over the years, many people have wanted me to teach piano lessons to their young pre-school-aged children. I have rarely done it, with few exceptions. I LOVED teaching Kindermusik for several years when I lived in Bountiful (age 18 months to 7 yrs) and felt it was such a great prelude to formal piano lessons. Yet, I have been searching for something that would not only stimulate young minds with fun, rhythmic activities, but something piano-based. I have found it! In the Fall of 2012, I took a class from Dr. Kevin Olson (Utah State University) and his wife, Julia. They introduced their new piano series for children ages 4-7. It is called: PIANO MADE FUN.
With my degree in Child Development and my music minor and years of teaching children, I feel that this is a program that I can endorse!
Please go to their website to read about it: http://www.pianomadefun.com/ There is also a short video demonstration of a class to watch.
Semester One
I taught this class in the spring of 2013 (right before I moved to Farmington) and it was a hit. Classes are for specific ages groups. Either only 4 yr olds or only 5 or 6- yr olds, etc. There is a big difference of maturity and attention span between these age groups.
Classes last 13 weeks and are taught in “semesters.” Each student only needs to bring a 3-ring binder (2″ please). I need at least 6 students to form a class. Ask your neighbors and friends to carpool with you. It is a very fun class.
Price
A thirteen-week semester will cost a total of $160 ($40/month for 4 months) or if paid in full at the beginning of semester $150.
Registration
$15 registration fee (non-refundable)
I will attach the following for your perusal as well:
- Schedule for “Piano Made Fun”
- Readiness Checklist
- Piano Information Sheet
