Piano Lessons
It is our objective to create a safe and constructive learning environment where you feel free and open to learn the fundamentals of piano, make mistakes, learn technique, and discover your inner artist.
We will work together to learn how to read music, learn terminology, music theory, practice techniques, and exponentially improve your playing ability at your pace.
We accept students of all ages and levels as young as 4 years old. Young beginners need to know their right hand from their left and the concept of up vs. down. That's it!

Tandem Lessons
Our most popular lesson option combines both voice and piano lessons in one weekly lesson. This is especially beneficial for young voice beginners, as learning piano teaches the fundamentals of reading music while nurturing the student’s passion for singing.
For young beginners, lessons are 45 minutes long and are about 25 minutes of piano and 20 minutes of voice. For intermediate students, they will have 60-minute lessons split evenly between the two instruments. For advanced students, 75-minute lessons are ideal.
Practicing
One of the most important things we will discuss is HOW TO PRACTICE. This is something that often gets overlooked, not discussed, or assumed is understood.
I understand that learning HOW to practice is not intuitive and is often why students simply don’t practice. I will give you the tools and knowledge to work on your music and technique on your own.
Practice Coins
We believe a little extra incentive and a reward can go a long way in a students initial desire to practice.
In addition to personal encouragement, we offer our students weekly practice coins that they can use to “purchase” something from our treasure chest!
Students under 12 are invited to participate in our reward program designed to keep them focused, motivated, and inspired.
Supplemental Music
We firmly believe in offering supplemental music to the students that they love. Playing a tune you know increases enthusiasm exponentially!
By offering music they enjoy, they stay engaged, have fun, are determined, and often will practice more regularly. We use Disney, pop, and any songs they know and love!
