Con Brio Piano Studio Class Offerings
Proficiency Club
Our esteemed and fun-loving flagship weekly program for students of all ages (3–4 students), grouped by age and level. Focus is on joyful skill-building, reading fluency, rhythm confidence, and developing a steady musical routine.
Early Division
30 Minute weekly lesson
The Proficiency Club is available in tiered enrollment options to provide flexibility and individualized support. Families may choose to add one or two private one-on-one lessons per month in addition to weekly class meetings — allowing for deeper coaching, personalized refinement, or focused preparation when needed.
Early Division is the foundational stage — where students establish core skills and develop the habits that support long-term musical growth. Students learn to read music with confidence, build technique, and gain awareness of rhythm, articulation, and practice strategies.
Upper Division
45 Minute weekly lesson
Focus on deepened musical well-being, on experienced artistry and interpretation, technical independence, and preparing for outside enrichment opportunities, RCM assessments, or transition into Private Study.
The Proficiency Club is available in tiered enrollment options to provide flexibility and individualized support. Families may choose to add one or two private one-on-one lessons per month in addition to weekly class meetings — allowing for deeper coaching, personalized refinement, or focused preparation when needed.
