Private Piano Lessons in Tampa Bay

Vaccaro Piano is based in Tampa, Florida, offering piano instruction to students in-home, in-studio, and virtually.

Lauren Vaccaro, Piano Teacher

Weekly piano lessons and performance opportunities under Ms. Lauren Vaccaro are guided by the curriculum within The Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) Certificate Program, a comprehensive system of music study and assessment from Elementary to Advanced levels. For over 135 years, RCM has been an internationally leading institution — and for some countries, the gold standard — in music education and performance. Students who participate tend to:

  • advance faster;

  • stick with music longer;

  • celebrate tangible achievements on a regular basis; and

  • build a track record of accomplishment that they can reference in the future on employment and education applications.

RCM’s Benefits

  • RCM’s integrated curriculum includes repertoire and etudes from the Baroque era to modern day, as well as music theory, ear training, technique development, and sight-reading.

  • Examinations are available for both Practical (performance) and Theory (written).

    • Practical examinations evaluate the performance of repertoire, etudes or vocalises, aural skills, sight reading or singing, and orchestral excerpts for string, brass, and wind instruments.

    • Theory examinations evaluate the understanding of theory basics such as musical notation. Advanced levels include harmony, counterpoint, analysis, and history.


    The Benefits of Exams

    • Build self-confidence

    • Encourage goal setting

    • Provide a national standard for students to track their progress

    • Promote well-rounded musical training 


    What to Expect at an Examination

    • An objective assessment of the student’s skill for that level

    • A friendly yet professional atmosphere

    • Personalized feedback and marks available online within a few weeks

    • A Certificate of Achievement can be earned at each level of study by successfully completing all the requirements for each level of The Royal Conservatory Certificate Program.

    • The ARCT Diploma is recognized internationally and is one of the highest academic credentials awarded by The Royal Conservatory.

    • All examination candidates are eligible to receive Gold Medal awards from The Royal Conservatory. These awards are based on examination results.

    • Many school systems recognize RCM examinations for credit toward secondary school graduation.
