Piano Lessons

The piano is a fantastic first instrument, everybody loves pressing buttons! Students quickly learn to play basic melodies with one hand. The piano is known as the “King of Instruments” as it has the most notes and has been a significant sound in both classical and popular music for over 200 years. Despite this impressive history, piano students will achieve a pleasing sound much sooner than Saxophone or Guitar Students. Numerous studies show children who play an instrument, score higher on both standard and spatial cognitive development tests alike. Students as young as 3 years old can learn to play the Piano.

Singers have been observed to have lower levels of cortisol, indicating reduced stress levels. Historians have found singing to be one of the few activities common to all civilizations worldwide.
