“My son took lessons with Michelle for multiple years. Michelle was a patient and encouraging teacher who guided and taught him to appreciate and enjoy the music he played. My son made excellent progress with Michelle as his guide. Michelle allowed him to learn at his own pace and while at times it wasn’t easy, he kept at it with her constant support.”

Welcome
Students benefit from high quality lessons that are beyond “turn-page” lessons that solely focus on learning repertoire. In addition to learning pieces, students develop well-rounded musicianship skills so they can play the blues, improvise, arrange, read chord charts, and more.
High Quality Lessons
Students and parents love the variety offered within the lessons. Between studio challenges and innovative backing tracks, the excitement for piano continues even after the novelty has worn off. The smaller studio size allows for the teacher to carefully plan for the development of each student.
The Right Pieces at the Right Time
It’s a joy to see genuine excitement in a student’s eyes when they’ve just heard a piece they’re excited to learn. Whether it is pianistic video game inspired solos, dreamy and contemplative pieces, or flashy Spanish-style pieces, there’s something for everyone.
Motivating Learning Atmosphere
A special learning environment is created through the right level of challenge, and the good rapport that is cultivated between the teacher, student, and parents. If something isn’t working, we scrap it or change direction so the student doesn’t get stuck. This has resulted in students sticking with piano through their teenage years.
