Private Lessons
The Fall, Winter and Spring quarters consist of 13 weeks each in which private lesson students receive: 10 one-half hour lessons, an opportunity to participate in a group lesson, and 2 weeks of vacation that mirror the main public school vacation periods. The Summer Quarter has 9 weeks of teaching time. Students attend a 5-day Piano Camp one of the weeks and then schedule 5 private lessons during the remaining 8 weeks. These lessons are flexible to allow for family vacations and other summer activities.
Piano methods are chosen in collaboration with the parents. The Seifert Piano Studio uses the following methods: Suzuki, Alfreds, FJH Piano Adventures, Keys for the Kingdom, Hal Leonard, Bastien, Glover/Garrow, Glover/Stewart, Noona, Schaum and occasionally others as needed..
Parents are required to attend lessons with their children until a child reaches an age, where he or she can be totally responsible for the assignments.
