PACE Piano Program
Kinderkeyboard
A small class (3-7 children) for children ages 5-7. The FUNdamentals of music are presented through games and activities with the keyboard as the primary instrument. A piano or keyboard at home is required. The class meets once a week for 50 minutes. Class times are determined based on registration.
Contact instructor Kathy Ciaccia at 293-1523 (home) for further information.
Comprehensive Musicianship
This is the heart of the Pace Piano Program at RCMS. Students ages 7+ get the advantage of a private or partner lesson (depending on need and availability) for 20-45 minutes as well as a 30-minute class. The class supplements ensemble playing, fundamental music theory, sight-reading, ear training, jazz and improvisation in a fun way. By taking both kinds of classes (private/partner and the class), students develop into well-rounded musicians. Classes are formed with a minimum of three students of similar age and experience, so availability is based on current enrollment. Whenever possible, private/partner lessons and classes are scheduled back to back. Partner lessons (2 students) may be available without a class for 45-60 minutes.
Please contact Jan Nagle (CMS Piano Program Director) to check which options would be available prior to registering. 594-6376 (office)
