Elementary Piano, 8-11

Welcome - Elementary/Tweens Piano Lessons, Grand Junction

Adventurous Elementary Piano Program, Ages 8-11

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 4 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.

Read below to find out about the advanced program once they complete levels 1-4.

Music lessons are 30 minutes per lesson. I weave in and out of the Faber curriculum and other supplemental repertoire. 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.

They will also be working on repertoire for events that they perform in 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.

**Students ARE required to participate in at least 2 events throughout the year!**

Advanced Program

Once your child has completed Faber, Levels 1-4, they will move on to the advanced program. This program is designed to help your child continue building skills and technique as they pick their own, more in depth repertoire to work on.

They will go deeper with aural learning, keyboard awareness, time signatures, key signatures, perfecting articulation and dynamics, along with rhythmic moves. They will discover their genre and style of music. They will also learn how to sing with their music, play for other singers and do other things that will help them to step out of their comfort zone.

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.

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.

They will always be working on a piece for the different events they will perform in throughout the year. They need to perform in at least 2 events.

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.
