​Welcome to Savannah Music Academy

​I'm Dr. Ruth Albright and I teach group piano lessons online to ages four years old- High School. Since the pandemic, I have returned to teaching in person too. I've taught piano for over 20 years in the public school system and privately. Research has shown that music increases memory, mathematical skills and self-confidence.

​Group  Piano teaching began in Dublin, Ireland around1815 by Johann Bern Hardt. Franz List, Frederic Chopin, and Clara Schumann taught their students in groups.
​
There are numerous benefits of learning piano in a group:

• Students learn from both their peers and teacher.
• Challenges students to develop communication and social skills.
• Encourages the development of critical listening skills as students listen to other performance.
• Fosters the development of problem-solving skills. 
• Encourages students to make transfers of concepts and principles.
• Provides limitless performance opportunities.
