Piano Lessons

Scherzo Music School piano lessons are an excellent way to introduce children as young as 4 years old to the benefits of music. Lessons at Scherzo Music School does not follow a “one size fits all” approach. We design each students approach based on the cognitive and dextral development of each of our students. We design our piano lessons plan from some of the most popular approaches. Our program includes rhythmic development, ear training, reading, singing and proper piano technique. We encourage our students and parents to set goals in order to see the progress of each student. These goals can be participation in piano recitals, peer performances, or taking standardized music exams like the ABRSM.

We know how difficult it is to choose the right approach, the right teacher and schedule. At Scherzo we work as a team; so when you enroll at our school, you are in the hands of not only one but a full team of highly qualified professionals to oversee the student’s music education.
