What makes the lessons unique?

In traditional ‘turn-page’ piano lessons, students are placed in a method book series and lessons follow a predictable format of turning the page to see what’s next. As students advance, there can be big jumps in skills and concepts between units. Through a game based learning approach, students are introduced to concepts and techniques before they encounter them in their pieces. This results in a much more encouraging experience for students.

The studio also specializes in a well-rounded approach that incorporates building a tangible skill set: including playing by ear, improvising, playing the blues, etc. One of the goals of lessons is for students to be able to play music socially in a variety of settings, and not ‘just’ perform pieces they’ve learned.

The smaller studio size allows for more creativity and energy put into the planning and development of each student. Additionally, recitals are cozy events where each student gets to perform more than one piece.

Over the last six years, a plethora of activities and games were developed and adapted for online learning so online piano lessons can be just as fun and effective as in-person lessons.
