SPIRAL ( Start Piano Instruction: Readiness Assessment Lessons) is a unique sequential piano readiness program offered at the Do-Re-Mi School to children whose parents consider piano lessons. The SPIRAL system is NOT intended to "diagnose" abilities, make any prognosis about a future success, nor give recommendations whether or not to pursue piano instruction, but to develop each child's abilities and teach him certain skills vital for a sustained, successful piano endeavor. Lessons can be given in a small group, semi-private or private setting.

During the course, a child's readiness will be reassessed, and recommendations for transition into traditional piano lessons will be made. Please see sample videos below.

Private and Partner SPIRAL Monthly Tuition includes weekly lessons according to the calendar and one monthly group lesson each month on the first school Saturday of each month.
