Our music instructors love teaching and it shows!
​
We welcome all ages and skill levels of students to our music school, by providing music lessons for children, teenagers, and adults. We enjoy teaching first-time beginners who are taking their first musical steps; intermediate musicians looking to improve their musical skills by learning more advanced music theory, sight reading, and performance technique, or more advanced musicians focusing on auditions, recitals, and college scholarships or entrance exams.
​
We understand how intimidating learning to play an instrument can be, so we take the extra time needed to work at the students own pace, without making them feel rushed, or like they're falling behind. This is a proven approach for teaching children, as well as adults.
​
Our music school has 12 private teaching studios, a recital room for group classes and performances; a comfortable waiting room, and plenty of parking. All of our instructors have advanced music degrees, and to ensure your safety we perform background checks and drug screen all instructors.
COVID-19:
We're currently teaching students via in-person lessons, or online via Zoom. All in-person lessons are private, and we follow the CDC guidelines for sanitization & face masks.

And Now, Some Helpful Information About Taking Music Lessons...
And Myths...
And Tips...
Learn to Play the Piano in just 28 Days !
Myth - Sure, you can learn to play the piano in 28 days, or 3 weeks, or whatever the latest sales pitch is, but your repertoire will be chopsticks, or a few basic chords like C, G, F.
The truth is it takes most people many years to learn how to play the piano. Intuitively we all know that, but wouldn't it be nice if we could just walk up to the piano, and play beautifully after just a few lessons.
If you're truly interested in playing the piano, set your expectations correctly, and give it a minimum of 6 months. You can usually tell if you're making progress at the 6 month mark. And don't give up too early! You can learn to play piano with some time, and patience, and regular practice.
No need for a music teacher, use free lessons on YouTube!
Partially true. I love YouTube! Some of the music instructors posting videos are fantastic. In fact, I recommend some content publishers in my blog.
But there are a couple of big problems with using YouTube for music lessons. Firstly, the content provider can't see what your doing with your hands. Are you playing and holding the instrument correctly ? Using the correct fingers, in the correct hand positions ? Are you forming bad habits that will limit your progress ?
Secondly, how do you know where to start ? Do you have a roadmap of which areas to study first ? What order makes the best sense for you ? An instructor can help you map your musical goals, and help you get there faster.
How can I ensure my child progresses quickly with their music lessons ?
Tip - Whether its a parent, a guardian, grandparent or older sibling, children will make the fastest progress, and learn to play their musical instrument optimally when they receive positive reinforcement, and are encouraged to practice their instrument on a regular schedule. Even if they're only able to practice for 15 minutes a day, it will help them in the long run.
​
We encourage parents to be involved, follow-up on practice habits, and make sure their children are getting the results they are expecting. Our instructors talk to you frequently about your child's progress, and where they may need to spend more time practicing, and their recent accomplishments.
Should I buy an older piano from craigslist, or a keyboard for piano lessons ?
Tip - Buying a used piano is a big, and often costly, decision. On the outside used pianos look the same to most people. Think of them as used cars. A 40 year old piano is like a used car with 200k on the odometer. Its going to break down sooner than later, and repairs are costly. Run away.
A better option is to buy an 88 key weighted keyboard. It will cost a little more, maybe $600 to $800, but its a much better investment. We recommend Yamaha keyboards due to their build quality, and touch sensitivity for beginners. We don't sell them. Just recommend them. A model like the Yamaha P-125 is a great beginner keyboard.
