Piano is one of the best instruments to start with because it helps students understand melody, rhythm, reading, coordination, and musical expression.
At Capen, students can usually start piano from around 3 to 4 years old, depending on their readiness. For younger children, lessons are kept simple and age-appropriate, with more focus on listening, rhythm, finger movement, and enjoying music.
As students grow, they learn from notes, hand coordination, rhythm, and technique to songs, exams, and performance.
