At Troutner Piano Studio, we. . .

CREATE

We learn to read music  & play artistically.  We also learn to express our own musical ideas at the piano ​through composing, arranging & improvising.

COLLABORATE

Solos are important, & we learn showy ones!   But we also have many opportunities to play together in groups, through piano duets &  rhythm ensembles.

GAMIFY LEARNING

We play a huge variety of music-​learning games in lessons, during lab, ​in home practice, & at Piano Club.  Fun learning sticks!

SHARE

We share our music in a mix of informal & formal performances: Piano Club, recitals, & Festival.

Private Piano Lesson + Lab

In their weekly private lessons, students learn to read music, play the piano expressively, & compose music of their own.  Engaging music & off-the-bench games make learning fun!  

​Learning is extended in the studio lab, where students learn about composers, play music theory computer games, ​or complete projects at the digital piano.

Piano Club Group Classes

A few times per semester, we meet in Piano Club small group classes.  After each student performs, we build our skills through fun music theory games, ​ensembles, & other hands-on activities.  Each Piano Club group includes 3-6 students of similar age & level.

Summer Piano Camp

At a past summer camp, we explored rhythm & chords with a variety of fun activities, like bucket drumming,  improvising, cup tapping, boomwhacking, & playing lots of music theory games.
