​Welcome to Savannah Music Academy

​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.
