Enrichment Opportunity for Individual Instruction and Suzuki Talent Education Piano Students
Italian for “growing,” Crescendo encourages and promotes students’ growth at all stages of musical development. The program aims to develop well-rounded musicians, recognize students’ progress, and set benchmarks for advancing musical skills.
The Crescendo Program runs from September – May. Students may opt to register for the summer session from June – August.
The program guides students through graded repertoire levels, theory questions, and technical work. Crescendo also encourages the development of musicianship, motivates students by tracking and rewarding progress, develops performance skills, provides an opportunity outside the private studio for professional feedback, and helps develop the student into a well-rounded musician.
Student benefits include: Crescendo Labs, Juries, Gala Recitals, Award Ceremonies, and Play-a-Thons.
Preparatory Level through Artist Diploma: $132 per year
Pilot Track for Adult Students: $66 per year
Summer Crescendo: $40
