Piano Lessons kids love!
From the day a toddler starts bopping to the beat, we are reminded that kids love music! At Charlotte Academy of Music, it’s our priority to help your child keep that same level of enthusiasm throughout their years in music lessons. Music should be fun. If your child enjoys their music journey, they will make exciting progress. They will be motivated, excel, and develop confidence!
Music lessons come to life in Piano Adventures, our beginning piano classes for children ages 5 to 8, where our experienced piano teachers teach our students to play familiar tunes. In each lesson we advance through notation reading, rhythm skills, and ear training. Using the piano as our vehicle, Music Adventures paves the way for a smooth transition to private music lessons. In addition to learning to play the piano, we will focus on really learning how to practice. With only 6 students per class, Piano Adventures provides a positive, accepting environment where students feel free to be expressive and develop their creativity. Making music with friends provides built-in motivation, too! We make it easy for parents, too. Your child will leave class each week with a thorough understanding of how to practice their pieces.
Your budding pianist will enjoy Piano Parties in the winter and spring where they play their favorite pieces for Adventures families, oh and there’s cake, too! In early August we will celebrate all we’ve learned and present awards at our Celebration Day! This efficient, upbeat way of learning will give your child strong musical roots and set the tone for a lifelong love of music.

advancement
Our Piano Adventures teachers closely monitor each student’s readiness to advance to the next level. Groups are formed by similar age and level. Our priority is making sure your child is in the class most beneficial for their development and learning style.
What if you have a music loving child younger than age 5? CAM offers Music Explorers early childhood classes for children ages 18 months to 5 years old.
Learning to Play. Playing to Learn.
Children enjoy making new friends and learning alongside their peers in Piano Adventures. In a small class format (we limit to 6 children), students develop excellent rhythm skills and self confidence. In the dynamic group setting, our Adventurers learn through play! We utilize a variety of music games to reinforce each musical concept that is taught. The class atmosphere naturally helps build excellent piano practice skills and provides motivation, too! Check out our article The Benefits of Small Group Music Lessons, written by Regina Ziliani, CAM Executive Director and a piano teacher of over 30 years.
