A Bit About Our Approach

Really great piano instruction is based on sound principles and proven tradition — and — is positive, personal, individually tailored, and creative! Your child will learn to think creatively in the context of music, and to express themselves through music, while acquiring an effective technique and developing confidence at the piano.

Learning to play the piano should be a happy experience. We want your child to look forward to lessons every week!

Lesson Durations

Individual piano lessons are available in 30-min., 45-min., and 60-min. sessions. For very young beginners, 30-minute sessions are a great place to start. For older children as well as more advanced students, 45-min. or 60-min. lessons are typically much more productive.

All students receive personalized instruction from a friendly, professionally-trained musician.

Music Theory

Understanding the basics of music theory helps musicians to understand the pieces or songs they are playing. As a normal part of piano lessons, your child will be introduced to basic theory concepts including intervals, chords, the basics of harmony and melody, and more. If your child shows special interest in the topic, we will explore more advanced concepts involving form, advanced chord functions, and much more.
