Lessons are held in our studio space, which is currently at Wesley Methodist Church (in the Asian District). We have four rooms set up for lessons, including the use of their beautiful grand piano.

Lessons range in length depending on the experience level and age of the student, as well as what program they want to enroll in.

Students enrolled in our Beginner Piano Program are encouraged to have a digital piano or keyboard that works with our program.

Students taking private lessons for other instruments (guitar, bass, violin, etc.) must have a correctly sized instrument in good condition.

If you’re unsure what to look for, we are happy to help answer any and all questions!

To succeed at piano, one must always start with foundational music theory and grow from there. For this reason, we do not explicitly teach students to play by ear (although most will pick this skill up over time).

The curriculum used depends on the student and the program they are enrolled in.

In addition, students must ENJOY the music they are playing. We have an extensive and variety-filled repertoire of music to share with our students.
