Advancement Pathways
For pianists who have moved beyond foundation work and are ready to shape their playing with intention and artistic progression.
Once a student completes—or functionally outgrows—Upper Division levels, they are invited into a new stage of membership where study becomes even more personalized. At this point, students begin to choose a track that reflects their season of life, artistic goals, pace preference, and level of commitment.
Con Brio offers multiple lanes for advanced lessons, each with its own rhythm, focus, and momentum style. This allows students to continue their piano lessons in a way that is flexible, purposeful, and musically aligned with their evolving identity.
Weekly 1:1
Students pursuing long-term one-on-one mentorship, which includes adjudications, competitions, RCM, or advanced recital performances
Biweekly 1:1
Students who want to stay connected but need more flexibility due to academic/social load
Fully Modular
For students who desire both structured mentorship and creative expansion, this path combines your choice of Private Study or Andante 1:1 lessons with selected Virtuoso Club courses, such as composition labs, theory intensives, certification preparation, adjudication workshops, etc.
Semester-based or Event-based Add-On
Students seeking enriching short-term deep dives into topics such as composition, collaborative music, music history, or enrichment certificate preparation.

Studio Philosophy Note
Musical development at Con Brio is a collaborative process between instructor, student, and family. All pathways remain open conversations, and parents are encouraged to explore available options alongside their student. While flexibility and parental input are honored, the goal is to ultimately curate and prescribe the pathway that best supports the student’s musicianship, long-term well-being, and artistic potential—always with the family’s understanding and partnership.
