Music for Little Mozarts

AMUSE's piano program for the very young child (ages 4-6) teaches the fundamentals of playing piano in the ways in which children learn best: through singing and moving. Students develop listening and reading skills, as well as improvisation, technique, and ensemble playing. Repertoire includes contemporary and classical literature, familiar childhood songs, and popular soundtracks. Our program is based on "Music for Little Mozarts," an award-winning series from Alfred Publishing Company, supplemented by other ensemble and repertoire materials.

Piano Adventures

AMUSE's piano program for elementary and middle school students (age 7-12) is designed to develop the basic skills of playing piano, including listening, improvisation, and composition. The program emphasizes correct posture, hand position, fingering, accurate rhythm, articulation, music theory, and musical expression. Students learn to read music through solo and ensemble repertoire consisting of contemporary and classical literature, familiar childhood songs, and popular soundtrack. Our program is based on the acclaimed Faber Piano Adventures and Alfred's Premier series, supplemented by theory, ensemble, and repertoire materials.
