1. Can I practice on an electronic keyboard?
   We strongly encourage practicing on a traditional acoustic piano. Keyboards are acceptable for non-piano students, or for piano students in a temporary or other special situation.
2. How do payments work?
   Private lessons - tuition is billed monthly and is due by the first lesson of each calendar month. Group lessons - tuition is due in full at the beginning of each “program semester” as defined in the tuition schedule for each program.
3. Will there be opportunities to perform?
   Yes! We have monthly group lessons which provide students with the opportunity to play for each other. We also have open mic nights, Jazz Jams, as well as recitals and concerts.
4. What are the benefits of studying piano?
   Piano lessons are very beneficials for both children and adults. For children it benefits educational skills used in reading, science, and math. It also helps develop fine motor skills, hand/eye coordination as well as brain and memory development.
   Adults who study music enjoy better emotional and physical health. They also have the benefit of personal satisfaction, increased confidence, coordination, enhanced memory and concentration.
