6th Grade Starts Piano Maestro – Sight Reading Music – Playing with the Band!

Posted on February 3, 2015 by Old Town Academy

Why Piano Maestro? OTA Students started their piano journey with Soft Mozart, a perfect introduction to musical notation and the keyboard. But now they are ready to move up to the next level. The program is free on iPads for students at OTA (Download App, sign in, register w/ Anthony Kaneaster as teacher): all you need is an iPad and a keyboard (no cables!).
