Piano Lessons and Music Classes in Palm Beach County
with Susan Fonger
Private Piano Lessons, ages 4 and up ◆ Music Classes for children and their parents
”I’m convinced that my son got into MIT because of his musical literacy. I started teaching him the basics of music as soon as he could walk. It’s amazing how quickly a toddler can pick up tonal and rhythm patterns, the building blocks of music!”
Susan’s curriculum offers a sequential path to musicality from birth through beginning piano. Students learn melody, rhythm and music dynamics through traditional, content-rich folk songs - singing, dancing, listening, and playing simple instruments.
Weekly classes range from 30 to 45 minutes, and caregivers participate in these classes with their child.
Research shows that music, with its rhythm and tonal patterns, builds neural pathways in the brain which foster math skills and abstract cognitive abilities.
A child is most receptive to music training between the ages of birth and nine years. After a few classes, you'll say: "I wish my parents could have signed me up for music classes!"
