piano lessons for children 6 and up

Simply Music is a playing based program, teaching children learn to play the piano by doing just that, playing. Through songs we naturally and easily learn the important building blocks of music and the program, through experience. The curriculum unfolds according to each child’s individual needs, but typically develops over 6-10 years. Students are creating their very own music from the beginning and gaining skills with every song they learn. Each song and each step has purpose. Children learn the work and commitment it takes to grow while learning piano, and what a joy it can be. They learn that when they work through something, it adds value.
