ASPP

The After-School Piano program is an innovative method of piano study in which we emphasize skills of piano playing, basics of
musicianship, and the joy of music making. We encourage musical growth in young people who in turn will “make music for life.” The
program is an optional curriculum for children in first through eighth grades in the neighborhoods of these schools: Kiker Elementary,
Hill Elementary, Caraway Elementray, and St. Francis School. No need to drive around town for piano lessons.

The program is an integration of the traditional and innovative approach to piano teaching. We teach through a hands-on method,
with one master teacher per school in a small group class. The group aspect of teaching allows children to learn group
communication and performance skills, as one would expect from other group activities (soccer, band, etc.) This piano programs
includes the use of the Roland Music Tutor, which is a take home device enabling you and your child to listen to, practice with
(sometimes practicing with an entire symphony!), and study the pieces they have learned in class—thus bringing the teacher home
to you. Click on the appropriate Registration Form (above) for more details and pricing.

To start piano you lessons, you need the right equipment. If you don't have a piano yet, rent one from us until you see how your child
does in piano lessons. We have a low-cost rent-to-purchase plan. If you rent the $49 per month piano or better, we'll even give you
an $18 per month discount on the lessons as long as you rent or buy the piano from us. Example: $49 - $18 = $31. This is cheaper
than a keyboard (which isn't anything like a piano) or getting an old piano that always needs work (or a hand me down or free piano
which is usually free for a reason!)
