Recreational Music Making


Recreational Music Making (RMM) provides a great opportunity to fulfill a lost childhood experience of learning to play the piano - or for others, it’s the rekindling of an interest in playing the piano. Rather than focusing on the outcome, such as performing at a recital, RMM classes are all about the experience of making music. Thus, stress isn’t a component of playing the piano in a group setting where laughter can often be heard. Sharing music with the other students provides the chance to make new friends while at the same time activates brain cells, proving we’re never too old to learn! Classes are scheduled in eight week sessions.
