Online Lessons and Classes
Princeton Piano Arts has partnered with Synthase to offer an engaging way to learn valuable music skills to support and supplement your instrumental or vocal lessons. Students from across the country will come together in small online classes to learn theory, musicianship, and music technology over the course of thirteen weeks in the spring of 2023. For those seeking more customized, individual attention and pacing, private tutoring are also available. All are taught by passionate educators with advanced degrees from the world’s top music programs.
All lessons and classes are available to students aged 13 and up.
Private Tutoring: Music Theory & Musicianship
In a one-on-one setting, we will build on students’ strengths and address their weaknesses, helping them develop a powerful understanding of music. These tutoring sessions can be tailored to fit the requirements of all levels of ABRSM, AP, RCM, or CM theory and musicianship curricula, making excellent preparation for examinations.
Music Makers Lab
We’ll take songs apart and try to put them back together, and in the process learn tools and concepts that can help us make new songs of our own. By the end, you’ll have original tracks to share with the world, plus an understanding of theory and music technology that can help you get to the next level. This class is based in a Digital Audio Workstation and prior experience with music is not required. Requirements: computer, webcam + microphone, headphones, MIDI keyboard.
Musicianship for the 21st Century
The 20th century saw people from all over the world converge in America’s cities, and recording technology allowed sound to play a role that only symbols on paper could play before. All of this changed how we engage with music and how makers make it. This class will develop the aural, theoretical, technical, and creative skills that creative musicians need today. Progression through the curriculum will provide the chance to earn certificates and develop a portfolio of creative projects. Prior experience with music is not required. Requirements: computer, webcam + microphone, speakers or headphones, MIDI keyboard.
All group classes meet twelve times for 55 minutes each.
