Group Lessons at Piano Academy
Group Lessons for Children at PIANO ACADEMY: Autonomy and Excellence
Welcome to PIANO ACADEMIE, where we offer innovative group lessons for children aged 6 and over, teenagers and adults. Inspired by our program for preparing for international competitions, our methodology aims to develop students’ autonomy and perfect their pianistic technique.
A Tailored Learning Environment
In our group lessons, each student has their own piano and uses headphones to work individually on their piece, progressing at their own pace. This method enables optimal focus and personalized learning while being immersed in a stimulating group environment.
- For children aged 5 to 11, groups are limited to 6 participants. This small size ensures personalized attention and better management of each child’s learning.
- Starting at age 12, as students gain greater autonomy, one teacher can supervise up to 10 students. This development reflects our confidence in students’ ability to progress more independently.
A Proven Method
Our group lessons have proved their effectiveness: all our students who have taken part in international competitions and won awards have been trained exclusively using this method. It constitutes the specialty and uniqueness of our school, emphasizing the importance of autonomy in learning.
A Commitment to Excellence
We reserve private lessons for students requiring special attention, such as hyperactive or autistic children, or adults who struggle to adapt to a group pace. This flexibility in our pedagogical approach ensures that every student finds their place and path to excellence at PIANO ACADEMY.
Discover our unique approach
Join PIANO ACADEMIE to offer your child, or to discover for yourself, an enriching, personalised piano learning experience tailored to each individual’s profile. Our group lessons are an invitation to explore music in an environment where each student is valued and guided toward their full potential.
