Piano

Our piano instructors are university educated, and some of them have a master’s degree in performing and teaching, while some have a California teacher credential in music in addition to their bachelor’s degree. One of our piano instructors, Larysa Yost, who represents the Russian piano school, has a certificate in early childhood education. That’s why, she admits to her piano class the youngest children ( 3 years old and sometimes even younger) and successfully teaches the children and their parents. Our piano instructors believe that parents’ participation in the educational process is the key for their children’s success. We allow one parent to be present at the lessons and do video recording in order to use the recorded materials for couching the children at home. We are warm, encouraging and giving people, who enjoy teaching.

Those students, who have already learned how to play instruments, will accompany their own singing and the singing of their peers.

The repertoire is based on the most popular songs from Russian cartoons and films for 4-11
