Piano lessons

We teach elementary students picking up an instrument for the first time, middle and high schoolers balancing school and activities, and adults who always wanted lessons or want to get back to the bench. You do not need prior experience—if you are unsure about readiness, we will talk it through with you.

Students work one-on-one with the same teacher on a weekly schedule. Early lessons focus on comfortable hand position, finding notes on the keyboard, steady counting, and short pieces you can practice at home. We introduce reading music in a manageable way so playing does not depend on memory alone. Parents get a clear idea of what practice at home might look like, without pressure meant for professional musicians.

As students advance, repertoire grows and we add technique, scales, or exercises when they support the music in front of you—not as busywork for its own sake. Lessons stay tied to listening, timing, and expression so performances sound like music, not only correct notes. We are in Pacific, MO, with many families coming from around Greater St. Louis; monthly tuition and rates are on the tuition page. Message or call with your child’s age (or yours), any past lessons, and which weekdays usually work, and we will share openings and next steps.
