Each group class is broken into 6-week sessions, with classes occurring on Saturdays.

Tuition for Group Classes is the following for each 6-week session:

• $99 for students with immediate family affiliated with Columbus State University or Schwob (including current Schwob Prep students or children of CSU faculty/staff).
• $119 for students not affiliated with CSU or Schwob.

In Group Piano, students with no prior experience with the piano learn and gain confidence as their keyboard skills grow in a fun, relaxed environment. Each student will have their own piano that they’ll use to explore basic music and piano fundamentals with expert guidance. This program is great on its own or as an opportunity for students to sample the weekly structure of music lessons before beginning private lessons.
