Quality, professional piano instruction for all ages and levels
preparing students for a life-long enjoyment of music making, while also developing valuable life skills and personality traits



Calendar

The Art of Piano studio calendar follows the example of university-based community music schools. The academic year is divided into fall and spring terms starting in August and January. A flexible summer session is also offered. If there are openings available, new students may begin lessons after the term has begun; their tuition will be prorated.

Each private lesson incudes an additional 30-minute or longer session in the student computer lab immediately after or before the lesson.

Lesson scheduling takes place on the Saturday before the beginning of each semester and the week before each summer session, based on students' preferences and teacher availability. Early registrations get first priority in selecting lesson time. However, exact lesson days and times will not be available until scheduling day.
