IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT LEARNING
MUSIC -
IT'S ABOUT BUILDING LIFE SKILLS
We know we are doing our job right when students practice and
problem solve on their own, with little prompting from their parents.
They look forward to the improvements they see each day.
We believe that the greatest gift we can give
our students
is the ability to become their own teachers.
YOUR MUSICAL GOALS ARE OUR
MUSICAL GOALS
Do you or your child love music and want to learn more? Does your
child already play quite well, but is looking for a more fun,
inspiring teacher? Do you want to play various styles on the piano but
just don't know where to begin? Do you want to improve your technique
and play tension-free? Are you aspiring to pursue a music
degree?
At the Myriad Music School, a positive relationship between student,
teacher, and the piano is vital to a successful learning experience. We
take the time to listen to the needs of our students, and help them
set their goals. On a broader level, we
celebrate the 400+ year-old history of keyboard instruments and their
rich association with society.

include increased virtuosity and beautiful tone.
