Kids Love Music – So Why Do Many Dislike Music Lessons?
Music is an essential part of children's lives, so why do many kids dislike music lessons? Let’s break it down.
The Problem. Many children perceive piano lessons as “just more homework,” adding another task to their already busy schedules filled with school, sports, and chores.
So, what went wrong?
Traditional 30-minute piano lessons often focus on teachers demonstrating pieces, leaving students with very minimal practice time. This limited time increase homework load, leading to frustration and slow progress, as students frequently forget what they learned and miss out on essential topics like music theory, technique, musical language, articulation, expression, and performance skills.

It is my personal mission to innovate teaching style by infusing more practice time and encouraging students to learn more pieces and explore different styles and genres during their first years of learning. By extending lessons to 60 minutes and incorporating technology, we significantly enhance student engagement and accelerate progress. This approach enables them to learn more music, move through their books faster, become better sight readers, and grasp music theory and language effectively.
Why Choose Our Interactive Piano Lessons?
We offer comprehensive 60-minute lessons that enhance the learning experience through engaging technology, guided by a master teacher with over 20 years of experience. Here’s how we make music education effective and enjoyable:
1. More Learning Time: Students can explore musical concepts in depth, ensuring thorough understanding and mastery without feeling rushed. They learn pieces under direct guidance, which allows for effective practice at home, supported by our at-home learning app.
2. Interactive Technology: Our advanced apps gamify practice, keeping students motivated and engaged. These include popular piano method books that make learning fun, enabling students to discover they can play recognizable tunes right from their first lesson!
3. Real-Time Feedback: With teacher guidance and technology, students receive instant feedback on their technique, timing, and accuracy, helping them refine their skills effectively. The apps break songs into manageable sections, allowing students to learn a few measures at a time—similar to my childhood experience, but now enhanced by technology that provides full orchestration and feedback. Kids can play everything from "Mary Had a Little Lamb" to Disney hits like "Moana" and even "Angry Birds" right from their first lesson!
4. Personalized Attention: Each student receives tailored instruction based on their individual interests and progress, promoting growth and development.
5. Confidence Building: The extended lesson time allows students to progress faster through their books, prepare for recitals, and explore their musical interests. In this supportive environment, they learn from their mistakes, ask questions, and receive the guidance they need. We celebrate their accomplishments, which fosters confidence and a love for music!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT WILL I LEARN IN PIANO LESSONS?
I understand that every student is an individual, with personal musical needs and goals. I make it a priority to tailor how I teach and what I teach to your individual needs.
If you enroll here for piano lessons, I will ask you about your favorite type of music, and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for your child. Together, we will develop a plan to achieve your goals! I love beginners, so even if you don't know where to begin, I can help!
DO I NEED AN INSTRUMENT AT HOME BEFORE STARTING LESSONS?
Absolutely! Student success hinges on their ability to practice between lessons. It’s very important to provide a good quality instrument and set up a dedicated practice space before your first piano lesson.
Minimal requirements for your home instrument are:
WHAT STYLES OF MUSIC CAN I LEARN?
I teach all styles from rock, pop, jazz, country, worship, blues and classical. I combine the important fundamentals with the music YOU want to play.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO LEARN TO PLAY PIANO?
There is no set answer of how long it takes to learn to play piano. With regular practice, a basic level of playing can be accomplished in a few months. Most of my students take lessons on a long term basis because they want to be constantly improving and they find the lessons enjoyable.
