"The Academy of Fine Arts is an absolutely amazing place. We are enrolled in their ‘Music in Me’ group piano program specifically designed for 3-4 year olds. They offer a positive learning atmosphere with the perfect mix of piano exercises with fun songs, dances, and play. Our piano teacher does an extraordinary job connecting with each child and keeping the class engaged." -Allen L.

"My son has taken introductory group piano, and has progressed enormously throughout the semester. He started the class unable (and unwilling) to play anything on the piano, and now practices every day, often several times per day, without being asked, and has memorized at least 9 simple tunes. His teacher was very patient with him, even though he gets easily frustrated with difficult skills like the coordination required for piano." -D.S.
Frequently Asked Questions about Academy Piano Classes
Are classes in-person or virtual?
As of 9/17/21 we are still virtual. We will return to in-person classes as soon as we feel it is safe for everyone. But! Our virtual classes are still very interactive and there are even some things we can do better virtually than in person!
Do I need to have a piano or keyboard at home?
You will need a piano or a keyboard with a minimum of 61-keys. Do NOT spend a lot of money! Currently, you can find some as low as $29 on Amazon Prime). Depending on age group, after approximately 30-40 weeks, you may want to upgrade to a keyboard with weighted keys.
How do I know my child will like it?
You don't...until you try. That is why we offer the 3-Week Money Back Guarantee just in case.
What will my child and I learn?
So much! From the very first class, they will learn:
How to READ and WRITE music - Ear-training - Proper piano/keyboard technique - Many attractive songs for both playing and singing - How to play music with others (ensemble playing) - How to perform for friends, family and in recitals - Singing in tune, and much, much more!
How long has the Academy of Fine Arts been teaching these classes?
For 26 years! We have trained literally thousands of children (and parents!) over the years.
