Our music teacher, Mr. David Flournoy, is pleased to offer private piano lessons to students entering Kindergarten-12th grade this year! Lessons will be held weekly in Monsignor Rand Hall for 30 minutes each during the school day. Students will be excused from classes to attend based upon their particular grade's daily schedule. There are only 10 spotsfor students in the piano studio, so first come, first serve!
The first 10 registrees will be contacted to schedule a first lesson (for free), after which they will have one week to decide whether to commit for the rest of the semester (for a non-refundable semester fee of $300, plus the cost of lesson books) or to offer their spot to the next registree.
Those who register after the first 10 will be recorded on a waiting list in order of registration and will be contacted if a spot opens up.
Feel free to email David Flournoy at [email protected] for more information!
We will be using Alfred's Basic Piano Course as the primary books for our piano lessons. Music theory (how to read notes, hear intervals, and understand chords) is taught in the context of a progressing series of classical, folk, country, jazz, spiritual, and patriotic songs to make students fall in love with the piano and with music. Parents will soon hear their children not only playing, but singing and whistling these tunes at home! By the end of Level 6 of this course, students are ready to learn and perform standard classical repertoire at an advanced intermediate level, as well as play any church hymn with ease. The Basic Piano Course is made up of 7 levels (1A, 1B, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), each level with 4 books: a Lesson Book (pictured above), a Recital Book, a Theory Book, and a Technic Book.

Alfred's Basic All-in-One Course Alfred's Basic All-in-One Course is a 5-part series that combines the most important pages of the separate Lesson, Recital, and Theory books from the Basic Course Levels 1 & 2 (pictured in red, green, and light brown above) into single "all in one" books so that students only have to bring one book to and from lessons. These five consecutive All-in-One books prepare students to enter Level 3 of the Basic Course (pictured in yellow above).
