Our gifted piano instructors, Dwayne and Christian, embrace each student with genuine care. Student success gives us great joy because we're all family here.
Children and Adults . Monday - Saturday
We initiated group lessons when we saw how how excited and engaged students of all ages were during our summer group programs. We have found that small groups allow students to make friends; provide a sense of accountability; offer healthy competition that encourages practicing between lessons; enforces the skills to focus and practice independently; allow students to have fun in sharing their accomplishments with peers; and develops ensemble skills.

At any time, should the class drop back down to a single student, the class will again revert back to the 30-minute private lesson. There will be no price reductions or credits.
