* For beginners aged 4 and up using our Musicolor Method on piano
They love that
we match the teachers with their children based on personality, learning style, gender preference, music choices and location.
We are one of the only programs to teach young preschoolers. These are real piano lessons - not just clap along or sing along. Nor is it just playing a single note while the teacher or the band plays the rest of the song. Our students learn real music skills - only in a more organic, fun way.

We recommend all children start with at least 6 months of piano/keyboard. Because it is physically easier to produce sound, and is visually logically laid out, it builds a foundation quickly and makes comprehension faster. This makes transferring to ANY other instrument much quicker, enjoyable and understandable. However, for children above the age of 8 years old, it is possible to start on any instrument, though we highly recommend keyboard as a foundation.

Please take a look here.
We have 3 makeup credits per semester. Ask your teacher to reschedule. There are no refunds for missed lessons.
Yes. All of our teachers are able to provide excellent instruction via Zoom no matter where you are located. You just need to have a broadband internet connection and a web-connected device with camera.

Because of our adaptive and inclusive curriculum, the Musicolor Method, we have been able to successfully work with many children with special needs including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder, Dyslexia, and slow learners.
We are not accepting adults at this time.
Absolutely.
We start with playing first using color as educational scaffolding. This builds instant excitement, enthusiasm and confidence to keep going when things get more complicated. Learning to read music is not going to happen overnight, in a week or even months. It can take years.
