Oliveland philosophy: * We take the INTERNATIONAL approach- on top of playing music of various cultures and styles, we strongly encourage our students to participate in the Associated Board of the Royal School Exam each year (theory and practical). Those are the highest measurable piano standardized tests in the world. We also try to collect the newly published music from around the world to widen the scoop of playing different kinds of music. ** We train our pianists to be a "PRACTICAL PIANO PLAYERS' in the 21st century. pWhile embracing the piano traditions from history, students are highly encouraged to learn to play with others, in ensembles, groups, duets, trios, bands, with families and with friends. This is one of 'the most' crucial part of piano learning because experiencing the skills of working with others is practical, useful and fun. Learning to read chords, improvize and composing is emphasized in the culture of our studio. *** FACILITY - We have a 1000 sq ft mini recital space with Steinway M piano for recitals and rehearsals. We also got a state of the art hybrid Avart Grand Yamaha N2 piano coupling with Clavinovas, Yamaha CP33 and Korg synthesizer in our facility. Our music technology lab offers midi recordings, composing, ear training, theory learning and music notational softwares so students can learn to arrange, compose, and create music files. We're equipped with the latest 4 Macs workstations with iPads for all students to use in their composition projects. On top of the music notational award winning software Sibelius, we also have Garage Band composition classes coupling with mixing and Jam techniques and 30 musical apps in the iPads. We believe young players should be able to express their creative mind thru technology - be able to express, share and publish their own projects. We are using iPads in all our classes and piano lessons extensively.
