LESSONS

RPS offers 30, 45 and 60 minute weekly lessons with monthly tuition payments. Make-up lessons are available as the schedule allows when scheduled lessons are cancelled with at least 24 hours prior notice.

ADULTS: We teach students of all ages and encourage adults to get involved. We have taught students as young as 4 to as young at heart as 85. RPS believes it is never too late to learn the fundamentalsof music or how to play piano and encourages adults to follow their musical dreams. Retired people and parents whose children are also taking lessons have found playing to be an enjoyable respite and a way to connect with their children. Adult students have frequently told us how much joy and satisfaction they have gained by finally trying something they have always wanted to do.

CHILDREN: RPS has successfully taught children as young as four years old! It is well established that children between 4 and 6 years old have an amazing capacity to learn and to absorb musical knowledge that will last a lifetime. They have no trouble understanding placement of the keys and basic elements of rhythm. By introducing musical concepts using colors, numbers, letters and games, kids are fully engaged and learn quickly while having fun. What they may lack in concentration, they more than make up for in their capacity to understand and their joy in music. Music education has been found to increase a child’s ability to concentrate and help in developing better reading and math skills. Music gives kids an educational boost that goes well beyond what they learn at the piano!
