Lessons at Wendy's Piano Studio are focused on helping students achieve success in a positive environment through three main components or "keys to mastery" in each lesson: Technique, Sightreading, and Music Theory/Composition. Lessons include individual instruction as well as a music lab with the innovative Piano Marvel software program that helps students learn to sight read music at an accelerated pace. The music lab also includes theory games and assignments with the website, Sproutbeat. Tuition is an all inclusive reasonable monthly fee which includes a student membership to both Piano Marvel and Sproutbeat, all music, and performance fees. Lessons are a 60 minute class held once a week with 2-3 students. Students rotate among three stations: individual instruction, sight reading with Piano Marvel, and music theory with Sproutbeat. Lessons may involve combined teaching. Private lessons may be offered for adult/advanced students.
Piano Marvel stands out as an exceptional software program designed to enhance sight reading and accelerate the learning process. When students perform music using Piano Marvel, the software halts when errors occur, meticulously tracking their progress. This tool effectively addresses a common issue in traditional practice methods—repeating mistakes during practice, which can become ingrained due to muscle memory, making them challenging to correct during lessons. Imagine having a virtual "teacher" by the student's side each day, guiding proper practice and preventing the entrenchment of errors. The software boasts an extensive collection of classical, contemporary, and popular songs. It has gained popularity among numerous music instructors and educational institutions. Additionally, students who integrate Piano Marvel into their home practice routine tend to dedicate more time and effort, resulting in more enjoyment and success. Visit: http://www.pianomarvel.com
