Piano Parties are group lessons that happen 2 to 6 times per year depending on how many other performance opportunities there are. They are for students to share their music and some refreshments, feel connected to and motivated by the community of piano students, learn from their peers, develop performance confidence and cooperative skills, and reinforce musical skills, especially rhythm when playing with other students. Sometimes we invite no guests, sometimes we dress in costume, and sometimes we hold a formal recital open to the public!
