1: Sharon Renkes Piano Studio / Private Piano Lessons
"Music and rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul." -- Plato
Sharon Renkes has provided private, high quality, multi-sensory piano lessons in central Ohio since 1987. She welcomes students ages five to adult and develops personalized lesson plans to meet each student's attention span and sensory needs. Learning atmosphere is calm and positive, with lesson content focused on each student's individual learning styles, needs and goals. Student experience includes both digital and acoustic pianos, rhythm instruments, music themed games and manipulatives, solo and ensemble playing, singing, and body movement. The studio is open and affirming to students and families of all backgrounds. Parents and adult caregivers are always welcome in the studio and may observe their child's piano lesson at any time.
All piano instruction takes place in the teacher's personal home studio at 118 E Pacemont Rd, 43202, in the Clintonville neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. Free on-street parking is available. Major nearby roads include North High Street, East North Broadway and Weber Road with easy access to I-71 and SR-315. Nearest COTA #2 bus stops are High Street & Pacemont northbound, High Street & Lakeview southbound.
​​​S. Students are exposed to a variety of repertoire and music styles, theory, ear training, basic music history, beginning composition and improvisation, along with performance opportunities for sharing music with the studio family and the community. The curriculum is designed as an introduction to the world of music past and present, develop appreciation for music and artistic skills, learn to play the piano expressively and to read music fluently. Student requests for a favorite keyboard piece, music style or composer are frequently integrated into lesson repertoire. Weekly lessons can also include piano music to be performed with school jazz band, orchestra, concert band, vocal choir and other academic musical groups.
It is expected that students will have an acoustic piano, tuned and in good working condition, or a digital piano with 88 full-sized and fully weighted keys with attached legs or an X-stand, sustain pedal and bench in their homes for daily practice. Keyboards with less than 88 keys are not acceptable. Practice requirements vary according to the student's age and skill level. Time spent practicing can range from 10 minutes for a young beginning student to 30-60 minutes for an older intermediate to advancing student. All students should practice 5-7 days per week. Elementary aged students should have an adult or older student nearby for any needed help and supervision.
