About Adult Group Piano Classes
This starting class for beginners is taught by Dr. Veena Kulkarni- Rankin, Lead Instructor. Using the Adult Piano Adventures Book 1 as our core curriculum, students will learn to navigate the piano keyboard, learn to read music at their own pace, play by ear, and explore repertoire of their choice. Held in the Faber Piano Institute’s piano lab, each class will have up to 6 students, who will have their own electric piano and headphones.
Cost: $50 per student for each class.
Time: Each class meets once per week for 60-75 minutes.
Private Lessons
Private piano lessons are the hallmark of the Faber Piano Institute. Highly qualified, enthusiastic instructors guide each student through customized music training.
Instruction at the institute is based on the Piano Adventures® method, developed and written by Nancy and Randall Faber. This successful piano method emphasizes discovery and creativity while building a strong technical foundation for musical expression.
The Piano Adventures® curriculum includes a wide variety of music styles – classical, pop, jazz and folk. In addition, the wide variety of material in the PreTime® to BigTime® Supplemental Library is used to tailor lessons to each student’s interest.
