Group Piano Lessons for young musicians in First through Sixth grades

First Session begins the week of September 13, 2021 – in person.

Properly fitted masks will be worn for the duration of your time in the building.

PB&J classes (one for grades 1-3, another for grades 4-6) will find up to 9 students rotating through 3 stations in each lesson that include:

1. Group instruction and activity relating to that day’s new lesson content

2. Supervised small group practice time, with each student at their own keyboard with headphones.

3. Theory games – this may include activities like using Duplo blocks to create a rhythmic or melodic pattern, internet based content, activities from the Piano Pronto books (see below) and coloring/drawing activities

Why take group piano lessons?

• Bond with friends who have the same interest and skill set as you
• You’ll have a practice partner!
• We can work up to playing duets
• Team Work- everyone has the same assignment, so you can help each other by sharing tips and learn from one another
• Games are more fun with others!
• Stage fright will go away faster as you play and practice for your peers each week
• You’ll be more confident in any speeches or presentations you have to give in school or elsewhere
• Substantial savings – save $150 per quarter over private lessons

While the classes are offered over four, eight week sessions, they are designed to be taken for the duration of the academic year.
PB&J classes will meet at Mifflin Avenue United Methodist Church in Regent Square.

Session 1: 9/12/21 – 11/5/21

Session 2: 11/14/21 – 01/21/22
