Beginning Piano Class

Offered during the fall and spring terms for ages 6-8. These classis are exploratory in nature. The classes are held in the FSU Piano Lab, so students enrolled do not have to own a piano at home.  This class is a very good way to find out if your child will enjoy studying the piano privately later and just what the potential is for private lessons.  The class is basically introduction only and may or may not lead to further interests or study.  For information and course fees, please click on the Calendar and Registration link at the top right section of this page.
