  • Is an outlet for creativity

  • Teaches risk-taking in a safe environment

  • Encourages goal-setting and achievement

Starting Out

In your first few lessons, we’ll see where you are and talk about where you want to go on your piano journey. We’ll start establishing a foundation of basic skills that will serve you along the way. You’ll start to play songs, learn to read music, and translate notes onto the piano keyboard. After each lesson, you’ll receive a Piano Practice Notes page that lists your goals and what you’re working on to help keep you focused.
