At Grosse Pointe Music Academy, we offer group piano classes specially designed for young children ages 4–6 who are just beginning in music.
Our goal is to introduce children to the fundamentals of music and piano in a fun, exploratory, and age-appropriate environment.
Children at this age learn best through play, movement, creativity, and hands-on discovery, so our group piano classes incorporate a variety of engaging activities. Students will have the opportunity to explore the piano, sing, move to music, use rhythm instruments, and learn musical concepts in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.
Skills and Concepts Introduced:
- Beat: Feeling and moving to a steady pulse
- Tempo: Exploring fast, slow, and changing speeds
- Dynamics: Understanding loud, soft, and everything in between
- Rhythm: Echoing patterns, learning longer and shorter sounds, and beginning to read rhythmic symbols
- Pitch: Identifying high, middle, and low sounds
- Melody: Hearing steps, skips, repeats, and melodic direction
- Keyboard Orientation: Finding patterns on black and white keys
- Motor Skills: Developing finger strength and coordination, left/right hand awareness
Activities May Include:
- Piano and instrument exploration
- Singing, rhythm chants, and listening activities
- Movement games and finger plays
- Drawing simple visual representations of musical sounds
- Musical games that combine fun and foundational skills
Who This Class Is For:
Group piano classes are a great fit for young students who may not yet be ready for the structure of one-on-one private lessons.
Children build confidence, musical skills, and a love for music in a relaxed and encouraging group setting. Early group learning helps establish a strong foundation for future private instruction.
