About the Piano
The piano is an acoustic, keyboard, stringed percussion instrument in which the strings are struck by wooden hammers that are coated with a softer material (modern hammers are covered with dense wool felt; some early pianos used leather). It is played using a keyboard, which is a row of keys (small levers) that the performer presses down or strikes with the fingers and thumbs of both hands to cause the hammers to strike the strings. It was invented in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori around the year 1700.
What Do You Learn in Piano Lessons?
Whether you want to learn Bach or John Legend, our teachers are happy to help you become the pianist you want to be. Our piano faculty will show you the fundamentals of sight-reading, technique and theory, and they will also incorporate your favorite songs into your lessons. A simple full-size electronic piano will suffice for the first six months. Our piano teachers have warm personalities and enjoy sharing their love for the piano. We begin piano lessons as early as 4 years old.
What Happens at the First Lesson?
Prospective piano students often ask that question. Our piano teachers make it a priority to get to know you on a personal level and to become familiar with your personal musical needs and goals. We do not treat every piano student the same in terms of what and how we teach. A 9 year old having their first piano lesson will have very different needs than a 57 year old taking up piano for the second time after having had lessons as a child.
Are Your Piano Instructors Qualified?
Our instructors have received their education from fine institutions have gone on performance tours of the US and Europe and have over 25 years of professional performance and teaching experience.
