The first lessons are taught with an emphasis on core fundamentals. Students continue through the piano curriculum learning significant repertoire, while addressing the fundamentals necessary for all levels of performance.
We present an annual piano recital for all students who would like to participate, and some of our students are asked to perform in area festivals, and for Newington Night at the New Britain Rock Cats, which will now become the Hartford Yard Goats. This is an exciting opportunity for students to have the experience performing for a large audience.
Piano lessons are held at our Newington Connecticut studio, or via a skype video phone. Training occurs at all ages in theory, ear training, sight singing, technique, and history. We can teach using a real acoustic piano, or with an electronic keyboard.
Newington is a town in Hartford County, Connecticut, United States. Located 8 miles (13 km) south of downtown Hartford, Newington is an older, mainly residential suburb located in Greater Hartford. As of the 2010 census, the population was 30,562.[2] The Connecticut Department of Transportation has its headquarters in Newington.
Newington is home to Mill Pond Falls, near the center of town.[3] It is celebrated each fall during the Waterfall Festival.
Newington has a history of nearly 375 years. While not established officially as a separate town until 1871, settlers from nearby Wethersfield took up residence on the western frontier of their riverside town in 1636. “West Society,” as some called it, was an area rich in timber that was used for pipe staves, barrel-sized containers used for colonial trade. Grand pastures also made the land ideal for herding and grazing cattle. Its inhabitants received land grants from Wethersfield leaders. Known as “West Farms,” the area west of the central portion of Wethersfield became settled by those who were almost exclusively the descendants of the earliest Wethersfield settlers. In 1721, the “western” farmers requested that the General Assembly of the Connecticut Colony give their land the name “Newington” to denote “the new town in the meadow.” The Assembly granted the request, even though it took another 150 years before Newington officially became an incorporated town. The town’s name predates its official existence.
