To enhance the private lesson, a wide-range of enrichment classes are offered. Students also have the opportunity to perform in recitals at the school and throughout the community. Master classes with nationally renowned professional artists are planned throughout the year.

STRINGS PROGRAM

To create a more meaningful learning experience, students have access to the following enrichment classes in addition to their private lessons at no extra cost. Students should discuss participation in these classes with their teacher.

PIANO ENSEMBLE PROGRAM
This program provides an opportunity for LCMS piano students to become involved in piano ensemble playing: duets (one piano, four hands), duos (two pianos, four hands), trios (one piano, six hands), and quartets (two pianos, eight hands). Ensembles will be formed in September and will be coached by various LCMS faculty on a bi-weekly basis. The ensembles will perform in a year end concert.

PIANO PEDAGOGY PROGRAM
The Piano Pedagogy Program is designed to help students prepare for the Royal Conservatory of Music ARCT Teacher's diploma. There are three levels leading to completion of the ARCT Teacher's: Elementary Pedagogy certificate, Intermediate level certificate and Advanced Pedagogy diploma. This is a great course for students who wish to teach piano. Some prior experience of teaching is helpful but not required to take the course.
