Teens are some of the busiest of us all! They want to be musicians, but find practice time is a challenge.
At Sykes Piano Studio in Osseo, our piano lessons for teens work with that reality, while laying foundations for a lifetime of music-making.
We teach “smart practice” to optimize their home “on the bench” time.
We often use favorite pop songs to apply music theory through chord progressions and scales, learn improvisation, develop stylistic versatility, read lead sheets, and develop a musical ear.
Our goal is to help teens discover and pursue their own musical identity, exposing them to various musical styles and repertoire, plus the myriad of options as keyboard musicians, especially in the age of technology. Keyboard is the most versatile instrument around!
