In-Person/Hybrid Piano Lessons
The studio offers in person piano lessons as well as hybrid and virtual piano lessons. The in-person and hybrid lessons are the best of both worlds, where you get to be in person, but can switch at any time for the convenient virtual lessons for any reason, like sickness, bad weather, or just scheduling. When lessons are in-person, the studio has all the current safety protocols in place.
Whether you are in-person, hybrid, or virtual, you get the same great teachers, the same recordings on our website and on YouTube, and the same great variety of musical styles and choices, and the same music composition and songwriting skills developed.

The Changing Musical Landscape
So much has changed in today’s music world. Music is all around us: streaming on many platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Alexa, on the radio, in commercials, in the movies, on computers, iPhones, iPads, and what we hear is a diversity that we have never had before.
Students at this studio get to contribute back to that mix. Their recordings are streaming right here on our website, on their own CDs, on YouTube – to share their music with everyone.

Piano Parties – For grades K-7, for many, this is a student’s first performance in front of people, and we keep it inviting, low key, and fun. Students play piano for each other, have snacks and play games, and meet other young musicians.
Coffeehouses – For grades 8-12, a great time for a Friday night, students socialize, sing and play piano, improvise, have pizza and inspire each other.
Repertoire Parties – Our adult students come to hear new pieces, show a work in progress, and get helpful feedback. We discuss practice and performance techniques and have wine and cheese and other refreshments, and meet other like-minded students and hear a wide range of music.

The studio uses digital pianos, computers, and MP3 and MIDI technology to enhance each student’s understanding, creativity, and skills.
