Classes are taught in small groups that include private one-on-one piano instruction, and computer music stations featuring 'creative exploration' and 'musicianship'.

Held in the new "Music Technology Lab". All the tools and technology used by today's leading musicians and enthusiasts - provided in a clean, safe and secure environment.
