Group Piano Lessons- Jim Patten
Ages: 7 and up
Cost: $75.00 per month
Dates: Mondays, January 2017
We have re-vamped our curriculum this year for a more broad balance of learning and fun!
Our studio is unique, in that we combine the learning methods and curriculum from Simply Music with a variety of other learning resources to enhance a student's music education. Simply Music is a remarkable, Australian-developed piano and keyboard program that has beginning students playing great-sounding pop, blues, classical and accompaniment pieces - immediately - from their very first lessons.
This year we will be moving through the Simply Music curriculum in the first semester as a primer. The second semester will be note reading fundamentals with the Faber series.
Skills covered chronologically through semesters are:
1. Repertoire (multi genre - multi level Simply Music method) How to play free from the music and carry it with you
2. Chords - Roots, inversions, progressions, voice leading, ensemble, sight reading, rhythms
3. Reading Notation - Faber, theory, performance, sight reading, and technique. Piano Marvel is our other multi level option.
Listen to students from the Matthews studio!
Our studio students playing for you!

This ‘Part 2” is an essential next step in your student’s financial education.
