Early Childhood Music

Building a Love for Music from the Start

At the Vienna Academy of Music and Arts, for children ages 4 and 5, we offer our Piano for Preschoolers program exclusively in a one-on-one setting. Through imaginative play, educational games, and our own carefully developed curriculum, students make a smooth transition into traditional piano study while receiving the individualized attention that young learners need. Because every child develops at a different pace, we believe personalized instruction is far more effective than traditional group piano lessons during these formative years. Many of our preschool students make remarkable progress. (See Ben L.) below.

Meet Benjamin L. Click on Benjamin L.’s picture to hear him perform as a preschooler! Benjamin performed at the Vienna Academy of Music and Arts Piano Festival held at the Wolf Trap Center for Education this past spring. Remarkably, he also performed at the festival two years earlier. Benjamin reads all of his music, is developing strong sight-reading skills and learns scales. He successfully performed 10 memorized pieces for a judge at the National Piano Guild Auditions this past June. Benjamin’s progress reflects our commitment to providing individualized private instruction for preschool children.

Here are two high school students, Leo Dalgleish (see home page) and Avi Patel who continue their musical training at the academy. Click on this picture to learn about Avi’s journey at the academy. The picture that highlights these videos is an old picture of both attending the same Piano for Preschoolers Class with Mini Lesson. They both received the distinction of being on the 5 year National Piano Guild Honor Roll. Leo is working towards his 10 year honor roll distinction despite his busy schedule, completing his 8th year last spring. We are so grateful for their accomplishments. These young men are such an important part of our academy’s legacy. They are lovely people, polite and still passionate about learning piano!
The little girl with the two pigtails just graduated from TJ High School, she took lessons with us for many years and also received the honor of being on the 5 year National Honor Roll, as well. We nurture so many preschoolers who become such amazing learners. This is a huge benefit of these classes, now indiviual lessons. The change to indiviual lessons will better suit busy schedules and provide personalized learning. Profound musical exposure at an early age is a game changer.
