Kawai, Yamaha, and Weber). We offer instruction focused primarily on piano, guitar, voice, and other symphonic instruments guiding our student’s entire music journey, from beginner to advanced, in an encouraging, supportive environment. Hybrid and on-line remote instruction options are also available.

Our students emerge from their time with us encouraged, excited, and ready to take on any and all challenges that lie ahead at the university and conservatory level.
