How lessons work
Step 1
We begin with a free introductory lesson where we discuss your goals, experience level, and what you want to achieve at the piano.
This gives you a chance to see how the lessons work and decide if the studio is a good fit.
Step 2
Students receive weekly one-on-one instruction focused on three important pillars of piano:
Technique
Reading
Repertoire Learning
Step 3
With this approach, students make real progress, and are able to start playing real music they enjoy early on.
With this method, students will get used to thinking like a pianist and be used to playing real music long before other methods.
