Best Piano Lessons in Pine Hills, FL

We believe that time spent playing on an instrument is vital to growth as a pianist. We do have some students with electric instruments, but we always advise our families to purchase a piano, since the sound and touch feedback is essential for students to learn how to control each tone and how to develop their artistic sensibility. No electric instruments can completely mimic the sensitivity and response of a real piano, and our students who purchase a piano after practicing on the keyboard prove this is true by the way their tone quality and playing dramatically improves.

While not required, we strongly encourage parents to observe the lessons, especially those with younger students. Parents who participate in lessons are better equipped to assist and support practice at home and we see a direct correlation between parental involvement and student success.

Yes! By observing lessons parents can follow along with practice assignments, take videos of each goal and even attempt to play what the students need to learn. Students love to see their parents interested in their music and we encourage students to contact us between lessons with any questions or send us recordings/videos of their progress.

We use a tuition-based payment system because we structure our program yearly and plan out our teaching sequencing accordingly. We plan the repertoire, technique achievements, and performance opportunities months in advance, and working with someone on a week-to-week basis with no long-term goals undermines the possibility of accomplishing the same goals and limits the amount of progress that can be gained.

We expect all our students to share their music through performance. We have numerous performance opportunities throughout the year in multiple venues and contexts. Beginning in the 2017-2018 school year, the recital fees will be built into the tuition, and while we never force students to perform, we strongly encourage them knowing that performing is an excellent incentive to practice, gives them a way to share their music with others, and helps them develop stage presence and confidence as a performer - all skills that they will use someday!
