My granddaughter started piano lessons at The Music Studio at 8 years old as a beginner. Today at 15 she is playing Mozart, Gershwin etc. She has loved being a part of The Music Studio and continues to take lessons! I highly recommend The Music Studio for piano lessons.

This lesson program really helps kids move along quickly, confidently. The kids are able to practice through everything during their lesson so they know exactly what to practice and have already mastered all difficulties. The teachers here are very patient and helpful, and make lessons fun :).

Great place to learn an instrument. I'm an adult learning the violin so it can be challenging and scary being in lessons with others, but the teachers make me feel very comfortable, welcomed, and are patient with my progress. Susan and the teachers, are great at communicating concerns and advice with the instruments in a way that I can understand. Great Place!
