Not necessarily! While many of our Young Maestros have journeyed with us from earlier stages, we also welcome children who are beginning their piano journey at age 6-8. We assess each child's level and ensure they're placed appropriately so they can progress at their own pace with confidence.

No, children at this age attend independently. Parents are welcome to wait in our members only Buzz's Cafe and enjoy signature coffees and snacks.

We keep our groups small, just 6 children per group. This ensures every young pianist receives substantial individual piano time with multiple instructors while also benefiting from the inspiration and creativity of group projects and peer learning.

Each 1-hour lesson is thoughtfully designed to develop complete musicianship. Lessons include individual piano practice with instructor guidance, technique exercises and repertoire building, ear training and sight-reading activities, music theory and analysis appropriate to level, creative group projects and ensemble work, and composer studies and listening appreciation. Everything is paced to maintain engagement while building serious skills.

At this stage, we recommend 20-30 minutes of daily practice. Consistent practice is essential for building fluent technique and making steady progress. We provide clear practice guidance and help children develop effective practice habits that will serve them throughout their musical lives.

Occasionally, progress notes and one lesson book may be sent home for practice, but otherwise everything remains in our space, ready for their next session.

Proficiency comes with consistent practice and time, but here's what we love: children who experience the joy of early success naturally want to keep going! Most of our students stay with us year after year, growing from tiny explorers into skilled young musicians.

By age 8, students are typically ready to transition into private piano lessons. They'll have developed strong fundamentals, fluent technique, sophisticated musical ears, and genuine passion for music. Many of our graduates continue with private teachers in the community, fully prepared for advanced study and lifelong musical engagement.
