Piano lessons at Solar Music Academy help students unlock the full potential of one of the most versatile instruments in Western music. Lessons are designed to build technical skill, musical understanding, and creative expression, allowing students to confidently take on multiple roles within any musical setting.
Students learn to perform as a lead melodic voice or provide harmonic foundations that support other instruments, gaining a practical understanding of how music works. The piano also serves as a visual representation of the Western 12-note music system, making it an ideal tool for exploring music theory and composition.
Our piano curriculum covers:
Technique, touch, and tone to develop clear, expressive, and controlled playing
Dexterity, independence, and control of both hands for fluid, precise performance
Scales and voicings across the keyboard, including inversions and harmonic concepts
Solo piano techniques and approaches, including arpeggios, runs, and personal style development
Comping patterns for accompaniment and rhythm in various musical styles
Reading music, understanding notation, rhythm, harmony, and dynamics
Improvising and composition to create original music and develop melodic ideas
Performance and audition preparation, including timing, stage presence, and confidence
Through this structured approach, students gain the technical skills, musical knowledge, and creative confidence needed to perform, compose, and collaborate across a wide range of musical styles.
