Piano
Age Range: 7 years+
This class runs in 7-week terms (Private or Duo Class).
Piano classes are again shaped by the student’s interests. It can prepare students to gain proficiency in reading music, theory and sight playing. It can also cover scales and aural skills to result in a well-rounded musician. RIAM graded exams are an option for those deemed suitable.
Being a self-taught player, who as an adult completed piano exams, I’ve seen the merits of both journeys and try to balance traditional piano classes with acquisition of party pieces and a strong understanding of chords.
We can also cater for the social singer who would like to accompany themselves and learn some functional keyboard skills.
Genres can include Classical, Irish, Pop, Country Ballads, Musical Theatre and more.
‘Isabelle started piano with Colla Voce 3 years ago. She’s now preparing for Grade 2. It has brought on her confidence in leaps and bounds, even playing for the school choir & in our family pub. It was an amazing help too when she recently started secondary school. Classes have a great balance between practical party pieces she loves to sing with & more challenging grade pieces. She’s excited to continue towards Junior Cert music’ – Lucy
