Piano Courses


Piano classes at U.V.U. range from group instruction to private lessons:

The beginning group class begins with the basics of note-reading, rhythm structures, transposing, harmonizing with major and minor chords, and improvising. Students build piano techniques through finger exercises. Theory concepts are learned within the context of pieces studied during the course.

The intermediate group focuses on developing sight-reading skills, expanding knowledge and application of chord structures, improvising, composing, and memorizing. Students leave this course with the tools they need to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the construction of music.

Private lessons are available for any students interested in studying piano. Piano lessons involve studies, increasing repertoire, and performance.
