Occupational Octaves Piano Lessons

Our mission is to provide special educators and other properly trained individuals with the initiatives, training and tools necessary to teach students with autism, and/or other special needs, to play the piano using Occupational Octaves Piano ™ and optimize each lesson to each student. Certified instructors are expected to:
1. Teach students to play a mainstream collection of music written in an alternative language, Lee Stockner’s Music Box Method ™, in a manner that develops cognitive gain.
2. Develop the skills necessary to modify each Occupational Octaves Piano ™ lesson to the special needs of each individual student.
3. Seek out and address any potential educational, physical or emotional challenges/deficiencies that can possibly be improved through a special needs piano lesson.
4. Strive to make an amazing learning environment filled with caring, empathy and patience while being void of distraction and unnecessary stimulus.
