Empowering Students
|
The approach Becca takes to lessons - providing instruction, having them practice on their own, then having them play for her - works very well for keeping my son's engagement high. The small group mentality helps him see others at varying skill levels play, struggle, and overcome challenges, which makes him want to strive to do the same.
Student-Centered Instruction
Our method of teaching veers away from traditional music instruction setting. We teach in a modern, research-based, student-centered format.
The process students follow during lessons can be summed up in a four-step cycle:
In this format, the teacher is not the judge who declares right or wrong. Instead, your child is empowered to make choices, plan their practice, and feel proud of their progress, with gentle guidance and expert support along the way. |

What are lessons like?Students learn to play piano in a modern lab setting with up to 6 students, in a format that builds confidence and reduces anxiety.
We guide and empower children to work through a song, to scan the piece, look for patterns, try a difficult section, identify areas of growth, and fix those mistakes independently by reflecting on essential questions. Classes are not taught as a group. Instead, each student works at their own pace, and there are headphones for both the student and teacher at every piano. Students use red and green signs to communicate "I'm ready to pass a song," or "I have a question," and we provide guidance and feedback throughout the lesson. |
Why teach this way?
There are SO many benefits to this method of piano instruction.

Inspire your child through music.
The best way to get a feel for our programs is by scheduling an introductory lesson.
The intro lesson is a private 30-minute meeting with you, your child, and the teacher, to learn a few songs, see if this is a good fit, choose the appropriate path and curriculum for your child, and answer any questions you might have! |
