Sessions are 6 weeks each:
Fall Sessions:
August 29th – October 3rd

“Absolutely love the music play class offered. Ms. Rebecca and now Ms. Paige are wonderful and patient teachers who engage with the children and are very responsive to children’s moods and abilities. My son has been attending classes for a year now. We have enjoyed watching his engagement with music change as he develops an understanding of pitch, tone, and rhythm. I highly recommend the class for parents looking to introduce their children to music, music education, and to encourage social and peer interactions."
The Imagine Piano Process
Piano Explorers Class

These fun and motivating classes help to create a positive first experience with piano! The purpose of this class is to prepare both parents and students for future piano study, whether in group or private lessons. Students will be taught the basics of the piano keyboard, note and rhythm reading, music terms, rote songs, and beginning technique!
The class setting is fun and motivating, contributing to a positive first experience with the piano. Parents are encouraged to attend in order to learn along with and to aid their child during the class. Several Parent Meetings are included, in which parents can ask questions, discuss Dr. Shinichi Suzuki’s book Nurtured by Love, and understand what their child is learning in class.

Meet the Teacher
Jessica Witt
Jessica Witt fell in love with the piano at the age of four, knowing just a few years later that she wanted to become a teacher. She was able to achieve this goal in 2014 and has worked since then with both children and adults guiding them in discovering their own unique styles of learning. Recently, she has become the holder of a Collegiate Music Diploma from the International Program of The National Guild of Piano Teachers; she also plans to further her studies with the Suzuki Association. For Jessica, music is a beautiful language and her goal is to divulge its secrets to whomever is willing to listen and learn.
Katie Ostrosky
Katie Ostrosky, PhD, NCTM, is a pianist, educator, and scholar. She teaches group piano at Imagine Music and Arts, as well as instructor of piano and music theory at Randall University. She received the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Piano Pedagogy from the University of Oklahoma in 2023, during which she taught class piano and aural skills as a graduate teaching assistant. While teaching at the University of Oklahoma, she was the recipient of the Provost’s Certificate of Distinction in Teaching for outstanding instruction.
Dr. Ostrosky is an experienced pedagogue and has taught students of all ages and abilities. She has maintained a private piano studio in Baltimore, MD since 2003, with students active in performing at local, state, and national events such as recitals, masterclasses, and competitions.
Additionally, she has engaged in adaptive pedagogies for students with disabilities to create an inclusive space for all types of learners. Using Dalcroze pedagogy, Dr. Ostrosky incorporates theories of embodied music cognition into music instruction, with the goal of holistic, experiential learning.
These classes are for students who are new to piano. If you have already completed one of these classes or have already studied piano, please visit our Imagine Piano Program Page.
Imagine Piano Program
We are improving our Imagine Piano Program! See below for updates for Fall 2023:
It is highly recommended that young students (ages 4-8) take Intro to Piano Class before entering our Imagine Piano Program.
The program includes weekly private lessons (30, 45, or 60 minutes), weekly group classes, and parent classes/workshops.
Students in the Imagine Piano Program are strongly encouraged to attend weekly Group Classes, which are included in tuition. Group Classes are an integral part of this method, helping foster a musical environment, reinforce concepts, and create community with peers.
A parent is required to attend every lesson with their child, but is not required to attend group class unless the teacher feels there is a need to.
Students participate in Winter and Spring Recitals yearly, as well as have the opportunity to participate in monthly Student Showcases during the school year.
Parent Classes If a parent registering their child beginning Fall 2021 has not already taken the Parent Class in which we read Nurtured by Love, this class will need to be completed before or at the same time the student is beginning lessons

Supplementary Classes
Group Piano
Group piano classes are a beneficial addition to private piano lessons because they fill in the gaps missing with one-on-one lessons. Music is, after all, a social activity!
Group classes foster the sense of community and supplement the musical environment that is so important to early development as a musician. Just like team sports, working with peers in a group is motivating…not to mention a little healthy competition never hurt anyone!
Piano group classes are offered by level, and will cover such topics as (but not limited to): music theory, music history, ensemble playing, sight-reading, functional musicianship, and more.
Check the calendar for the current schedule, and email admin@imaginemusicandarts.com to register.
Students in the Imagine Piano Program are required to take Group Classes.
Tuition: Included for students currently enrolled in private lessons
Music Theory
At Imagine, we believe in helping musicians to be well-rounded. It is important to understand the theory behind what you are playing, especially as you become more advanced with your instrument. We are happy to offer supplementary Music Theory Classes for all instruments.
These 45-minute weekly classes will be based on your current level, and will delve deeper into how music works, enhancing your music-playing experience. Topics include, but are not limited to: key signatures, scales, chords, harmonizing, transposing, ear-training, and composition.
Tuition: Included for students currently enrolled in private lessons
