Piano lessons for youth and non-majors

While piano lessons with a faculty member are usually reserved for piano majors and require an audition, there are other options for piano study for non-piano majors at 蜜桃传媒破解版下载.

蜜桃传媒破解版下载 Youth Piano Program

The 蜜桃传媒破解版下载 Youth Piano Program trains students through weekly group and private lessons. Instructors are experienced teachers from the College of Music and the program is supervised by Professor of Piano Pedagogy + Piano Pedagogy Chair Alejandro Cremaschi. The lessons provide thorough instruction at the highest and most effective pedagogical standards while providing opportunities for fun, motivation and enjoyment of music. MORE
