Elementary Piano, 7-11

Welcome - Elementary/Tweens Piano Lessons, Grand Junction

Adventurous Elementary Piano Program, Ages 7-11

This is my biggest program in EverLove Studios and it is a very unique piano music program for tweens and teens that will help your child to develop piano skills for beginners through intermediates.

I use a solid music curriculum that will help your teen to gain piano skills through 5 different levels. I also use games, aural learning, supplemental pieces, notation cards and other instruments to reinforce learning and rhythm in our elementary piano lessons.

Each book is 10 weeks long, music lessons are 30 minutes per lesson. I weave in and out of the Faber curriculum, Bastien and Piano Safari. I feel that giving my students more of a selection of repertoire is better for learning.

I also include FREE fun and simple piano supplemental pieces that they can choose from to play throughout the year.

If your child excels in this program and they need more music to work on, I carry all kinds of exciting and adventurous songs they can play. These books are available for $8.00 each.

If your child has taken the Wunderkeys Primer series and they are moving into Elementary Level 1, I will assess weather they are ready for the Faber series or the Wunderkeys fast track program.

**Students ARE required to participate in the Spring Recital!**

Suplemental Books and Pieces

Supplemental Books: My supplemental books can be played along with the regular lesson books. They will reinforce what your child learns from the correlated books.

The cost of these books are only $8.00 per book. Call to find out how you can get one supplemental book for FREE!

Supplemental Pieces: The supplemental pieces contain only one song and they are FREE. Your child can choose to do any supplemental piece as they are working through their books. I will also be adding my own supplemental piece from time to time.

Together we will choose a final supplemental piece to play at the end of the year.

Compositional Pieces: One of the most exciting things about my studio is your child will have a chance to compose their own piece. This will happen with any age level. This is done to help them understand how a piece is put together and how to determine the sound of a piece.
