"I'm able to make such beautiful music"

VIRTUOSO Student Testimonial

by Mim W.

I am one year along in Leon’s VIRTUOSO group and continue to revel with a sense of awe that I’m able to make such beautiful music in such a short period of time! The group is fun, interactive, and surprisingly achievable; even for a 57-year-old, technology-challenged student like myself! Leon is an extremely knowledgeable instructor with a flexible teaching style, geared to reach students encompassing a myriad of needs. He is always upbeat with the utmost patience, regardless of how often we revisit the same questions! This online course has been my one constant throughout the pandemic and has proven to be both challenging and stimulating for my “aging brain”!

"An unexpected joy and adventure!"

VIRTUOSO Student Testimonial

by Katie E. A.

I have been taking VIRTUOSO lessons with Leon for about a year now and have found his teaching clear, organized, friendly, and instructive. Because of the weekly meetings, and his systemized, orderly syllabus I feel I have made tentative steps towards reaching my goal of being able to play the tunes I love. The live, online classes are great fun, always thought-provoking and relevant; and Leon's enduring enthusiasm and encouragement are definitely responsible for keeping me focussed, despite the enormous hurdles of learning something outside my comfort zone. I'm beginning to understand the mystery and magic of how music is constructed - and joining the "dots" so to speak - This course has turned out to be an unexpected joy and adventure!

FAQ

  • Is the VIRTUOSO Piano Club right for me?

    VIRTUOSO PRO is designed specifically for adult learners that are completely new to the piano or have not played piano or read music in a long time. No prior musical knowledge is required to join.

  • What will I learn?

    In our group lessons, we learn a new tune each lesson and work on the skills from our self-paced Piano Essentials curriculum. This includes discussing any challenges that may be blocking your growth at the piano and working through exercises to eliminate those challenges.

  • What tools do I need to participate?

    Ideally, you will have all the following items, but they are NOT required to participate fully in lessons:

    1. An acoustic piano or digital keyboard. 3. A computer or tablet with a camera and microphone so you can participate in the live lessons via Zoom. An iPad is the recommended device to use as you can simply place it on your piano during the lesson, but any other device with a camera and microphone will work.

  • What is expected of me during the lessons?

    The only expectation is that you have a desire to learn and an interest to make improvements over time.

    You won’t be required to practice between sessions any more than you desire to and you won’t be asked to perform or do anything on-the-spot in front of the group unless you volunteer to.

    There is no requirement to attend the live sessions, as each will be recorded for playback at any time. All questions will be answered from live participants during the live lessons and any follow-up answers will be posted to our group discussion board.

    During the time between live lessons, you are encouraged to post questions to the instructor or the group for help working through any challenges you are experiencing.

  • What time are the live group lessons?

    Our regular one-hour group lessons are hosted every 2 weeks on Wednesdays from 10 am - 11 am in the Central Timezone (Chicago, USA). A complete schedule of times is listed on the course page.

    Scheduling flexibility is always taken into account, and alternate lesson times are added, as needed, to accommodate current VIRTUOSO Piano Club members.
