Join our relaxed, low-demand group piano class for teens—no practice or prep needed! You can join anytime, as each session covers a unique music concept, so you won’t fall behind if you miss a class. This class is ideal for neurodiverse teens, including those with ADHD, Autism, and Executive Dysfunction. W H A T T O E X P E C T Students will explore a variety of music topics, including pop music, rhythm, technique, theory, and performance, to build their musicality. The class is supportive and encouraging, prioritizing engagement and creativity over rigid practice. Each session includes a brief introduction to the week's topic, a demonstration, and time for students to try the new skill on their piano. The class emphasizes exploration over mastery, fostering curiosity and enjoyment in music. Each week focuses on a different aspect of music: Week of January 13: Jamming with Pop Songs Week of January 20: Articulation and Touch Week of January 27: Technical Skills (Scales, Arpeggios, or Chords) Week of February 3: Classical Pieces Week February 10: Music Theory Week February 17: Pedaling Techniques Week February 24: Performance Techniques Week March 3: Rhythm *no class week of March 10 Week March 17: Listening and Analysis Week March 24: Music History After 10 weeks, the sequence repeats with fresh content, allowing students to continue learning and stay engaged. If you're looking for a class to help master specific pieces or follow a tailored curriculum, I also offer private lessons, including no-practice 1:1 sessions where students can learn and master a piece during class time.

Piano is my main instrument and I have been teaching piano for over 20 years. I love music, but because I have executive dysfunction, I was never good at practicing. In highschool, I quit playing trumpet in Jazz band because the teacher said we had to practice. And I've never picked up Trumpet since then. I don't want that to happen to other musicians. Let's play in class. Music once a week is way better than no music!
