So…for the first time EVER, we are offering new students 40% off on your first month of voice or music lessons* when you purchase your lessons on Friday, November 27, 2009.

If you were thinking about getting started with music lessons or singing lessons, now is your chance. If lessons are not your thing, lesson packages make fun and unique holiday gifts for family members and friends. We have never offered a deal this great – and it’s for ONE DAY ONLY. You will not be able to get this deal at anywhere else.

We know that signing up for lessons is a big step. You are committing to something new and must find time in your schedule and room in your budget to get started. It’s a very involved decision and we definitely recognize that. But, that is also why we are really excited to offer our 40% off Black Friday sale to all new customers. With savings like these, you don’t really have an excuse to not pick up that guitar, tune up that piano or flip on the karaoke machine and get started with lessons.

You only have one day to take advantage of this offer. So once the tryptophan-induced sleepiness  from your Thanksgiving Turkey dinner wears off, pick up the phone and give us a call at 877-231-8505 on Friday to book your lessons. We will be looking forward to your call!

Learning to play the piano leads the student of every age to delightful feelings of accomplishment as they make music at the keyboard.  The sounds produced from a single melody to full range of accompaniment of that melody are a joy to experience. 

Greater concentration, coordination & confident listening come as students learn to interpret music at the piano.

Playing one line of music to multiple lines of music teaches eye ~ hand concentration.  Our right & left brain read music visually increasing our focus and concentration. Increased coordination of hands and eyes develop as well as directed listening.

Piano lessons lead to improved coordination of the eyes & hands leads to keener listening skills. Perseverance, and discipline in practice bring pride in the sounds produced at the keys. Higher levels of concentration lead to discriminatory decisions of playing for greater self expression. Continued confidence in reading leads to greater understanding of the composer’s ideas expressed in the music.    

It is fun to express and hear music at the keys! Greater poise and sociability evolve as music is shared.  You cannot read music in a vacuum, as your playing is heard. Personal confidence and feelings of self achievement are felt as the difficulty level increases.  Personal interpretation of the composer’s ideas is creative.  Making music at the keys can lead to relaxation daily from the stresses we each feel. Personal ideas stated in our interpretation of music are valuable to our feelings of self worth and a joy to hear. Playing the piano well leads to confidence presenting our own verbal ideas, as well as at the keys.  Each learning step completed leads to feelings of accomplishment. It is a joy to daily hear and make beautiful music at the piano!
