Discover the Joy of Playing Piano
Every great pianist starts with the basics—and Piano FUNdamentals makes learning fun from the very first note!
Designed for children ages 6–9, this engaging beginner class introduces young musicians to the piano in a welcoming, encouraging group setting where curiosity and confidence grow together. Whether your child is brand new to piano or has recently begun lessons, they’ll build a strong musical foundation while having fun every step of the way.
Under the guidance of instructor Meg Gister, students explore music through hands-on activities, games, and group learning while developing music reading, rhythm, ear training, and keyboard skills. Along the way, they’ll make new friends, gain confidence, and discover the excitement of creating music together.
No prior experience is required—just a love of music and a willingness to learn!
