ABOUT US
We believe God created music for us to use to worship Him and to enjoy, and that music education can have a positive impact on many areas of learning. Our passion is to teach students of all ages to enjoy God’s great gift of music by learning to play an instrument, primarily piano. We strive to provide an enjoyable learning experience, giving them a hands-on musical experience from the very first lesson, while also aiming for a comprehensive approach to music instruction, including music theory, music appreciation (history), and basic singing (solfege) skills.
