    About George F.

    I am so glad you’re here! The music lessons for young children are full of fun, interactive activities with iPads apps and traditional methods that not only help develop a strong musical foundation and build essential life skills, but offer a unique bonding experience for you and your child. Discover for yourself why families love my innovative music lessons for kids. YES! Music Matters! The curriculum is built on research that proves MUSIC MATTERS. Music affects virtually every aspect of development and when young children are consistently engaged by music during the “musical window” they benefit at many levels. What about private lessons? Do I believe in private lessons? You bet! But I know from experience that private lessons are most valuable for older kids who have the ability to concentrate in a one-to-one setting. With this Private setting you will have a solid foundation in keyboard skills and music theory and typically excel quickly in their continued music education and when learning other instruments. The education and experiences a child has in my music program sets them up for success with private instruction. Music Program Builds spatial-temporal reasoning skills critical for greater success in math and science studies. Music students out-perform non-music students on achievement tests in reading and math. Music students receive more academic honors and awards than non-music students. Develops social and emotional skills including the ability to relate to others and better express ideas, and less likely to have behavior/discipline problems. I offer up to 2 recitals a year so that you can perform everything you know. Feel free to reach out and let's setup some lessons. Thank you, George F.

    George, was very patient, kind, and seem very knowledgeable. He seems to understand the pedagogy of teaching to kids and realize they all learn differently. I personally think he went above and beyond for my Son first class and for our first introduction. He offered a more modern approach method of teaching music and Piano to my son who so far seem more receptive in learning and practicing. Will se where that take us but I am very please so far.
