Winnetka and Piano Power
Over the past few years, Piano Power has gained a devoted following of Winnetka students. We love being a part of this beautiful and historic community.
Age recommendations
Our private lessons are appropriate for Winnetka pianists aged 5 to 105. For students younger than five, we’re happy to discuss alternatives to private lessons. Somewhere around age 5, a combined increase in finger strength, reading ability, and concentration makes a student ready for private lessons.
Practice expectations
Your piano teacher will work with you to create a practice plan that works for your student’s schedule. The single most important element of piano practice is regularity. We know our Winnetka piano students are busy! But devoting even a modest amount of time each day to piano practice produces much better results than relying on weekly “cram sessions.” Ideally, your student will make piano a regular part of his or her day.
Digital pianos welcome
We recognize that not all of our Winnetka piano students have pianos in their homes. We are happy to conduct lessons on digital pianos as well. Unlike a keyboard, a digital piano has weighted keys that provide the feel and touch of a traditional piano. For many of our Winnetka pianists, it’s the perfect solution. Here’s a link to a digital piano we like. We’re happy to discuss this with you in more detail.
Piano Power recitals
If your student has been receiving piano instruction with Piano Power for three months or more, he or she is invited to participate in our twice-yearly recitals. The recitals are a low-key, wonderful way to celebrate your student’s achievements. Our pianists perform a huge variety of work — from classical repertoire, to original compositions, to hits from top-forty radio.
