When a child sits down at the piano all other concerns fall away, allowing the pleasure of making music to take over. intrigued by the instrument, challenged by the task, and absorbed by the rhythm, a child will play their favorite pieces over and over, At any age, the joys of learning to play are the same: feeling pride in performing even the smallest feats of coordination, experiencing the emotion music, and discovering one’s own individual personality. These rewards never fade, They only continue to grow through a lifetime enriched by music. 

You’ve always wanted to learn piano but never really wanted to commit to hours of practice every day or maybe your child has expressed an interest, or you’ve encouraged them to start lessons because you think it will be beneficial for when they get older.
