Piano Lessons for Adults in Tampa, FL
It's not magic, It's Mastery!
WPS is southwest Florida's only royal conservatory of music founding school
Our piano lessons for adults in Tampa, FL are designed for those who are ready to begin or return to their musical journey with purpose and confidence. Whether you are a complete beginner or picking up where you left off, we understand the commitment it takes to pursue piano as an adult, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
We start by assessing your current level, understanding your goals, and creating a structured learning plan tailored to you. From there, we guide you through a clear and enjoyable progression, helping you build technique, musicality, and confidence at your own pace.
For our more ambitious adults. We offer the opportunity to participate in our Royal Conservatory program, a fast-track to learning classical piano. We also offer many other events and assessments for your consideration. To name a few: FFMC Festival, Recitals, Youtube videos, Community outreaches and more. We have trained adult students from absolute beginners to advanced level musicians, playing RCM grade 10 exams, advanced piano concerti, and more.
For our adults who like a more “zen” approach, we offer classical training at your own pace in the proper style. We believe that fine training is just as important when the goal is the pure enjoyment and the satisfaction of fulfilling a life-long goal of playing the piano. We welcome both types of adult piano students
Piano Programs
Beginner Piano Program
Beginner and Elementary Level: All ages, including adults.
From that very first lesson to late Beginner playing simple Bach pieces. Our Prep level covers careful instruction for correct body and hand position, note reading, finger and wrist technique, articulation. Also included is our own patented method for teaching rhythms!
Games and storytelling ensure that each lesson is fun, rewarding, and progressive. Our students learn to play with beauty of tone and accuracy that gives even our youngest beginners a professional sound.
Most of our students present a “Story Recital” before moving to the Intermediate level. Late beginner students may choose to learn a concerto, or join others in a piano duo or trio.
Corresponding Royal Conservatory of Music Level: Prep A, Prep B, Grade 1.
Intermediate Piano Program
RCM grade 3-6. All ages, including adults. Interview with our Director to establish your current level.
Students reaching an intermediate level are often at a crossroads: They are now experienced enough to really begin to play well, yet are faced with increased workload at school. Predictably, if the music student doesn’t love where their music is taking them, students may quit piano at this time.
Because of this, we are very attentive to our middle school/high school students. The key to success is to keep everyone engaged and challenged with exciting challenges. Some include: learning their first concerto, playing in a duo, composing, and making Youtube videos. Motivation is everything.
Our Intermediate Program is for students with a few years of study behind them. Students are now able to play music from Baroque to Contemporary. The music available at this level is varied and inspiring.
Further, we allow our students to choose the music the most inspires them from each period. Corresponding Royal Conservatory of Music Level: Grade 2- 6.
Advanced Piano Program
RCM grade 7-10. All ages, including adults. Interview with our Director to establish your current level.
Our Advanced Program is for Advanced students: RCM Grade 7-10 and beyond. I am thrilled to say that almost all of our students stay with us and reach the Advanced level.
Some of these students are quite young, and they all play with remarkable passion, beauty and skill. Our Advanced students can choose from many events and options: concerti, ensembles, competitions, music composition, and much more.
All of our seniors make a video of their repertoire, useful for college applications and as a permanent memory for their family. Many of our students choose to keep growing with their music by choosing to minor in piano when they go to college.
We are proud to say 100% of our alumni who have auditioned to major or minor in piano have been accepted by schools from Vanderbilt to Georgetown to Florida State to Penn State.
