Piano Lessons
Learning to play the piano can be a fun and rewarding experience for both teacher and student! Our piano instructors focus on what inspires the student most, and encourage them to ask questions and gradually develop their own styles. Our instructors impose a solid foundation of basic piano playing, while making piano lessons an interactive and inspirational experience.
Teaching methods may include note-reading, ear-training, sight-reading, improvisation, and music theory, depending on the student’s age, needs, and musical interests. Piano lessons are conducted in a compassionate and friendly manner with an involved, caring attitude.
