Piano Instruction

Melissa has been playing the piano for over 35 years. This is her primary instrument by which she writes all of her music. Melissa has been teaching piano for over 15 years teaching her students a vast array of styles from site reading to chording.

Piano lessons build :
Confidence - A child with self-confidence has a better grip on handling life's many curve balls. Playing an instrument instills confidence and helps a child to overcome shyness.  

Coordination - piano lessons and music study help students develop manual dexterity. The child who takes piano lessons often does better in sports because of good eye-hand-ear coordination developed.

Creativity - Music helps a child explore his or her imagination and encourages creative thinking. Soon, that child learns to improvise at many things in life.

Discipline - Through regular practice and playing, students graduate to a higher level of self-discipline.

Satisfaction - The knowledge that something has been accomplished, even as small as a musical exercise, teaches satisfaction in a job "well done".
