Beginning Piano Lessons 

 

Beginning piano lessons start off by creating a positive relationship with the piano and ensuring that you sound musical right away. Our talented in home and online piano teachers apply a modern twist on the basics - encouraging you to playfully explore while learning modern or classical songs that you enjoy, and reinforcing technique by playing dozens of skill drill games.

 

All online piano students still have the opportunity to perform in Music Video Contests, Online Open Mics, Music Film Festivals,  Live Watch Parties, Song Contests, Online Song Shares and Student Forums. Local students are invited to attend our creative community's in-person events on the Main Line - From small groups in our First Friday Open Mic, Songwriters Open Mic or Group Classes in our music studio to larger gatherings like The Y.E.S. (Year End Shows)  or the quirky, fun Annual Halloween Show, which are held at Main Line locations convenient to Newtown Square.

 

Intermediate Piano Lessons

 

Intermediate piano students can get more in depth with musical styles or composers that inspire them. You will continue to learn technique and theory while performing music you love. You will also be coached and encouraged to create your own “innovations” on the pieces you learn, as well as write your own songs. 

 

Intermediate piano students – depending on practice and progress – have opportunities to perform in the Year End Concerts, prestigious Songwriters Showcase or Annual Halloween Show, all held at Main Line locations convenient to Newtown Square.

 

Advanced Piano Lessons

 

Advanced piano students study in depth, a particular style, period or skill set of their choice. They have many performance opportunities in a variety of contexts including the Year End Concert and Songwriters Showcase. Our teaching team has quite a few members with advanced degrees in jazz, classical and popular styles of music who expertly guide advanced students through their musical studies. 

 

Adult Piano Lessons

 

Piano lessons aren't only for kids and teens. Adult piano students can take lessons while feeling confident and supported with piano instruction tailored to their ability level,  individual goals, and interests. It is never too late to start learning or to get back into playing, and adult piano students can feel confident in getting results fast with our expert teachers. Adults can also enjoy several performance opportunities including the Year End Concert and Songwriters Showcase. Our piano teachers come from all different backgrounds and experiences from Classical to Jazz, Musical Theater to Electronic Music and everything in between. We have a perfect teacher match for any adult piano student.

 

Why Piano Lessons are Smart and Beneficial

 

What makes the piano the most intelligent instrument choice on which to start music lessons?

 

The fact that piano is the easiest instrument on which to produce a pleasing tone - without frustrating squeaks or twangs is just the tip of the iceberg. Unlike other instruments, which can only produce a single note at one time, the piano is both a harmonic and melodic instrument. This means a piano student (unlike most instrumentalists) can play several notes at once, creating both melody and harmony, much like an orchestra. In fact most famous classical composers like Mozart and Beethoven used piano to compose.

 

In addition, the piano is a very visual instrument. Because students can see what they are doing and the way in which the piano is laid out, students gain the best possible understanding of musical relationships, patterns, harmony and theory.

 

Students who play piano move on to have the highest success rate when they learn other instruments for school bands, because they can already read rhythm and multiple notes at once. They all transition quite well to other instruments. Recent research has proven that students who study piano have higher SAT scores and spatial reasoning, as well as higher reading comprehension and mathematical ability.

 

Over time, it has also become clear how well Meridee's unique piano curriculum translates to students with alternative learning styles – including ADHD, Aspergers, Dyspraxia, gifted learners and Autism.

Why MW Lessons are Unlike Any Other

 

Students at the MW School of Music benefit from our one-of-a-kind creative method, which Meridee has spent the past 20 years developing. Our piano instructors receive mentorship and monthly workshops, and students, in turn, receive the most inspired and personalized music instruction available.  Meridee Winters has also developed her own teaching materials and curriculum. These materials include skill building games, songwriting activities, journals, portfolios and more! The “top secret” MW Game book is a remarkable teaching tool for our instructors: 

 

"I love having a bag of tricks to for my piano lessons. The games serve as tools to teach skills, creative outlets, as well as rewards for good practicing, good behavior, or good focus during the lesson. There’s always something fun in my MW tool kit- either an established game or using the tools to create something new."

– Amy Hansen-Brower, Former MW Piano Teacher
