These innovative group lessons are specially designed for younger students to prepare them for further private piano lessons. Children will be introduced to the piano, taught the keyboard and musical alphabet through imagery and fun games which capture their attention and foster their imagination. They will develop the essential understanding of the piano literature appropriate for early ages.

Maximum 6 students in class
Transitional classes are semi-private lessons for those students who graduate from the 9 month prep-piano class but are still too young to start one-hour private lessons.
Each class is 45 minutes long and includes a 15 minute private lesson for each student at the piano, and a 30 minute class with another fellow classmate of the same age. In the 15 minute individual lesson the student gets personal attention and works on beginning piano skills, and in the 30 minute shared lesson the student will learn the new musical alphabet and note reading, as well as work on listening skills with a classmate in a more fun and engaging way.
Transition classes last until the student is 5 years old and can start private lessons.
Tuition: $150 per month.

In order to have the feeling of working toward a goal, and also to practice performing, students have an opportunity to perform their pieces in a friendly atmosphere of a small group of students on the first Wednesday of each month. To let the students enjoy the experience of an informal performance we ask parents not to sit in the audience for these monthly performances.
*free for our students
We give all students an opportunity to perform their prepared pieces three times a year in a formal recital.
To see video’s and pictures of our previous Recitals, please click here.
Our Duet Recital, Annual Recital and Top Ten Students Recital will take place in the gorgeous hall of the Hillside Club with a beautiful Steinway piano.
Fee: TBA.
Our school provides three different test and certification options for the students.
This test is required for all students at Golden Key and is optional for adult students. Only students who are doing the Royal Academy Exam or Certificate of Merit are exempt from our annual test.
To make it less stressful for younger students we call it a short lesson, and that is exactly what the test will feel like.
The test is based on our school’s curriculum and will take place during the month of May by appointment.
The fee is $25 and it is approximately 15 minutes long.
We recommend this exam to students age 8+.
Parents are responsible to register their student online. The test needs at least 7 or 8 months of preparation, so parents should check with the teacher to know what level and date to apply for.
Information about the exam can be found here.
