If you are looking for piano lessons in Long Beach that offer a well-rounded musical experience for your child, allows them to socialize with other students, and also encourages them to work individually, this is the class for you!
Our deluxe piano lessons are an affordable hybrid option for students who are ready to expand their horizons far past what we can cover in 30 minutes one-on-one.
Grade 2-8
Our Most Affordable Piano Lessons
Appropriate for Absolute Beginners Through Intermediate
Class is 60 Minutes Long, Once per Week
This accelerated format allows students to experience music on a much higher level than they do in private lessons, but still receive the benefit of one-on-one time with the piano teacher.
How do we accomplish all of this?
Each class has 3 students in it, and the students rotate every 20 minutes between 3 stations:
Private Piano Lesson
One-on one time with the piano teacher in a traditional lesson format
Encouragement
Technique
Keyboard Lab
Independent practice time develops healthy practice habits
Sightreading
Dedicated Time to Practice
Theory/Ear Lab
Supercharges music knowledge through videos, worksheets, and more
Theory & History & Composition
Ear Training
EXTRA BONUS! Group Piano Lessons
Occasionally, all three students in the class will work together as a group.
During this group time, students will either perform for each other, or will work together on collaborative pieces.
This is a great way for students to gain performance experience in front of their peers, in a non-intimidating and nuturing environment.
Collaboration & Teamwork
Enjoyment of Making Music with Others
Deluxe VS Private Piano Lessons
In individual lessons, we focus mainly on PLAYING piano, so we often don’t have quite enough time to study all of the other aspects of music, such as sight reading, music theory, ear training, or music appreciation.
This class allows students to still retain the benefits of private piano lessons, but makes time to learn “all of the other stuff.”
An added bonus: this gives you a little time to yourself for an hour! Parents may choose to stay in our comfortable waiting area, or head out to the mall across the street to do some errands!
"Christina has been giving piano lessons to all three of my boys for almost 10 years. She has done such an amazing job with working three very different personalities in respects to taking piano lessons. She has always taken the time to listen and connect with them, not only as a teacher, but also as a friend. Christina has a wonderful teaching style in the sense that she meets the kids where they are so they are team working to learn piano. My boys love and respect Christina. "- Dena
