Pedagogy

Introduction
For nearly a decade, Piano Academy has been shaking up the conventions of piano education. While the traditional approach relies on private lessons, our school has chosen the path of innovative group classes. With 9 years of experience, over 800 students, and a 90% rate of group lessons, we have developed a unique method based on Mi-Young LEE’s pedagogy, which combines rigor, conviviality, and measured progress.

1. An innovative pedagogical approach
The Mi-Young LEE Method
Our method is based on a sequential and compartmentalized approach. Each piece is broken down into measures, with each one needing to be perfectly mastered before moving on to the next. This approach ensures a deep understanding and lasting memorization, while giving students the opportunity to correct their mistakes without compromising the entire piece.

The Impact of the Collective
The choice of group lessons allows students to progress together, share their experiences, and enrich one another. This dynamic creates a stimulating and friendly atmosphere, fostering learning and self-confidence.

2. An interactive pedagogical approach
At Piano Academy, the essence of our method lies in the personalized attention provided within a group setting. During each class, the teacher actively moves from one student to another, demonstrating techniques, correcting mistakes, and tailoring advice to each individual’s specific needs. This dynamic fosters rapid and targeted progress while creating a stimulating atmosphere where students learn from one another. Additionally, music theory is offered through dedicated group classes held online at specific times, allowing each student to strengthen their theoretical understanding and improve their sheet music reading skills.
