8 to 12 Years Old: Piano Workshop
Building Confidence by Singing, Writing, and Playing Keys 🧝🏽
Service Description
This weekly workshop, designed with a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming approach, invites young singers and songwriters aged 8 to 12 to develop their skills and confidence in a caring, inclusive environment. Sessions alternate weekly between singing and songwriting, with foundational piano instruction and an introduction to music production incorporated into songwriting weeks. During these weeks, students practice piano exercises such as playing scales, improvising melodies, and building chord progressions that support their creative ideas. Each session features engaging activities like song discussions, peer feedback, and one-on-one instruction through private audio channels, ensuring personalized support. Students explore music theory, sight-singing, and ear training, building a practical understanding of notes, rhythms, and scales. Songwriting activities focus on storytelling and emotional expression, guiding students through crafting lyrics, exploring song structures, and refining their musical ideas. During singing weeks, students develop their voices as a group, expanding their vocal range, interpreting songs, and refining performance skills. Weekly assignments with instructor feedback and monthly progress reports ensure steady growth, while session recordings allow families to revisit workshops at their convenience. In this nurturing and inclusive space, students grow as musicians, build confidence, and develop their unique artistic voices while feeling seen, supported, and empowered.

Booking Policy
At Once Upon a Voice, we are committed to creating a smooth and supportive learning experience for all students and their families. Our policies are designed with a trauma-informed, neurodivergent-friendly approach to meet diverse needs while maintaining fairness and consistency. Parents or guardians must remain reachable during workshops for students under 18 in case of technical difficulties, as we may need your assistance troubleshooting. Our team and Muzie, the platform we use for workshops, are available to provide support and minimize disruption. Please note that only registered students may participate. If multiple children wish to join, each must be enrolled individually to ensure an equitable experience for all participants. Consistent attendance is vital for student progress in workshops. Although sessions cannot be rescheduled, students who miss a session can access playback recordings on Muzie to review the material. If a student arrives late, the session will still end at the originally scheduled time to respect the group’s schedule. In cases of unforeseen delays, please notify us so we can accommodate your needs while maintaining the group’s structure. Frequent cancellations, tardiness, or no-shows disrupt the learning process and may result in limited scheduling options or dismissal. Open communication and a commitment to the agreed-upon schedule help ensure the group’s success. Students unable to continue indefinitely due to physical or mental health concerns may request prorated refunds, calculated from the date we receive medical documentation. Temporary absences do not qualify for refunds unless the instructor is unavailable, but students are encouraged to use accommodations such as recorded sessions to stay engaged. By following these guidelines, we can ensure a fair, equitable, and engaging learning environment for all participants. Let us know how we can best support you on your musical journey.
