Q. What age do you recommend starting?
A. We welcome students as young as four to start on piano and students as young six for all other instruments.
Q. Why do you only offer hour long lessons?
A. We've found an hour is necessary for providing a quality and well balanced lesson. Anything shorter barely gives enough time to cover the basics of sight reading and technique, especially when making house calls. With most students the hour flies by.
Q. What can we expect for our child's curriculum?
A. WillYouLearn uses a specific curriculum designed by Will Armstrong. Part of the benefit of this program is that we're all very flexible teachers. We get to know our students first, find what interests and inspires them, assess their strengths and weaknesses and then we develop a personalized curriculum. However, every student is required to have a method book which will be assigned to them by their teacher, but even then, we rarely present the material the same way twice.
Q. How much should my child be practicing?
A. The short answer is that student should practice as long as they need to until a specific task is mastered. Practicing is a problem solving skill that needs to be developed. Part of our job is to teach our students how to practice well and how to problem solve, an invaluable skill in any field.
Q. Does WillYouLearn run background checks on its faculty?
A. Yes, we run a sterling background check on all of our faculty. Many of our teachers are fingerprinted with NYSED TEACH. Needless to say, all of our faculty members have squeaky clean records.
Q. Why WillYouLearn?
A. WillYouLearn provides a uniquely curated educational experience. All of our faculty members are hand picked world class musicians with the deepest understanding of theirs instruments, their art, and a unique ability to transmit that understanding to our students. Each faculty member has a passion for music and a love of teaching what we do that has brought us all to the most competitive and diverse musical city in the world.
