If you have a child (or teen) that has been playing piano for a while and is looking for a great opportunity, especially if they are willing and open to some *retraining, we would love to meet and do an assessment to see if they may be a fit for one! Drop us a line! Piano Labs are just $60 monthly for the weekly 30 minute lab and $50 monthly for a second child. All students must wear masks, though you can participate virtually and many do!
