Information for Fall/Spring 2009-2010 lessons:

     Welcome to Family Music Studio Piano! Family Music Studio offers piano instruction from six teachers. Instruction is available at all levels for both children and adults. Piano instruction includes the basics of music theory. A few years of piano instruction prepares children for the study of any other instrument. Of course, many students continue their piano study whether or not they add another instrument.

     A unique aspect of Family Music Studio Piano is our student and assistant teacher program. Beginners may take lessons at a reduced rate from a student teacher. Our current student teacher is Emily Walters. Beginning and intermediate students may take lessons from an assistant teacher. Assistant teachers have "graduated" from the student teacher program by having two or more years of teaching experience. Both student teachers and assistant teachers continue to take private lessons while they teach younger students. Our current assistant teacher is Catheryn Van Kley.
