Classes are fast-paced and students are encouraged to learn alongside their peers fostering musical independence and self-confidence through ensemble playing. Written by a piano instructor with 45 years of teaching experience, the Mayron Cole Piano Method emphasizes staff-note reading, rhythm counting, and sight-reading. With no short-cuts or gimmicks, this method teaches beginners through advanced pianists to read music and accompany other musicians, which leads to a lifetime of enjoying playing the piano. Private lessons are also available.
