GMG Students
PIANO PROGRAM
Children ages 4-6 must begin in the Early Childhood Music
Academy to build a strong musical foundation through singing
and music theory.
Welcome to GMG Music Center's Piano Program! The Piano
Program is designed for students ages 7-18. Students with
previous experience must have an assessment by a GMG
Instructor to determine their class level.
Piano is the most popular and perhaps the best beginning
instrument for the young musicians. All styles from classical to
jazz and pop for beginners to advanced students.
Beginning with the natural hand/arm technique, students at
GMG Music Center learn solid basic technique (correct
position, finger dexterity, flexibility, and more). Students also
learn the rudiments of music: sight reading, rhythmic notation,
meter, and harmony.
Memorization, theory, practicing skills, musicality, and self-
listening are taught from the beginning. In more advanced
students, GMG teaches musical clarity, chords progressions,
advance sight reading techniques as well as gaining an
understanding of musical structure. Students continue to
expand their repertoire while searching for their own voice
and styles.
Students complete an assessment before moving on to the
next course to ensure that each student has a clear
understanding of the material covered giving them a strong
musical foundation as they continue to grow.
GMG also offers performance opportunities for its students,
including recitals, Open Mic Friday and community events.
These performances allow students to showcase their work,
giving them an opportunity to share their progress with family
and friends.
