The Yamaha Junior Music Course is a 2.5 year program was created specifically for children ages 4 to 5 and provides an exceptional, fun-filled foundation for future music study, lifelong music appreciation, and creative expression. Years of research have shown that a child’s sense of hearing is most acute between the ages of 4 and 5 and, for this reason, this is the ideal time for a child to acquire the most important attribute of a fine musician – a musical ear! Children in this program learn to play the keyboard through ear training, singing, music reading/ writing and creating music. Parent participation offers a great opportunity to bond!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’ve enjoyed taking group piano lessons with Rita for over 7+years! Not only is she classically trained, she is a fantastic & patient teacher. She is warm in spirit & makes each class fun & unique! We haven’t missed a beat since taking our classes online. Classes are still enjoyable, challenging & we still have our same group energy, our piano family!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. I wanted to play piano for years and tried some self-learning materials without success. This class is exactly what I needed. It’s a very relaxed, no stress experience. You’re given the basics and you slowly, step by step, build from there. I am amazed at how much I’ve learned in so short a time. Thank you Rita!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have 2 girls playing piano for 10 years. We have been with Rita for the last 2 years and she has been by far the best piano instructor that we have had. They learn sigh reading, theory, and leaned about music genres. She is passionate, witty, smart, and so caring about her students. We are so lucky to have her.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rita is an experienced and enthusiastic teacher who not only cares about how your child does with piano, but is a champion for your child’s success in life.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My daughter studied piano with Rita from K to 12. Even when she was very little (so little that she couldn’t reach the pedals yet), Rita taught her that playing the piano is more than just moving fingers to hit the right notes. When a child learns a new piece, Rita asks, “What kind of picture do you see? What colors? What do you feel when you play this part?” This helps the child fully explore the music and make it their own. No two students of Rita’s sound the same even when they play the same piece, and I always enjoyed listening to these different interpretations. Rita approaches every lesson with patience and passion. I wish I had a piano teacher like Rita when I was a child!
