WHAT WE DO
CLASSES & ENSEMBLES
Our group classes and ensembles are a great addition to private lessons. They can help students focus on specific skills and reach their personal musical goals. The classes evolve depending on our students' needs. Please check back here for our class offerings at the beginning of each trimester (spring-January, summer-June, fall-August). Get on our email list so you don't miss the start of classes!
KEYBOARD SKILLS OLYMPIAD
The Keyboard Skills Olympiad encourages students to master fundamental keyboard skills. Students enrolled in piano lessons, from the earliest beginner through advanced levels, can collect Gold, Silver, and Bronze seals in this event. The students will prepare from one to eight items with their teachers, and be evaluated by one of the MANC piano faculty. As students earn more Gold seals, from one Olympiad event to the next, they become eligible for additional awards.
An extensive list of these skills includes items such as identifying notes and key signatures and playing scales, arpeggios, triads, and chord progressions. This event will be offered several times each year.
