Our piano program emphasizes the development of well-rounded musicians through individualized instruction tailored to each student’s experience and learning style.

Students receive instruction in:

• Well-coordinated, whole-body piano technique
• Music reading and notation
• Music theory fundamentals
• Ear training and listening skills
• Sight reading
• Musicianship and artistic expression
• Performance preparation
• Collaboration, confidence, and communication through music

Lessons are designed to help students not only become stronger musicians but also develop focus, perseverance, and the ability to work effectively with others.

Students are encouraged to showcase their progress through recitals and performance opportunities throughout the year. These events allow students to gain valuable performance experience, celebrate their achievements, and share their love of music with family, friends, and the broader community.

Students register by semester (Fall, Spring, and/or Summer). Students who enroll after a semester has begun will be invoiced for the remaining lessons based on the per-lesson rate.

New Student Trial Period

All new students begin with a one-month trial period consisting of four lessons. Upon registration, payment for the four trial lessons plus a one-time $20 registration fee is required. At the conclusion of the trial period, students who wish to continue will be invoiced for the remaining balance of the semester based on their selected lesson length.
