Young Learners
School-age students most often use the words "cool" and “fun” to describe their experiences at Piano Plus. Younger students love having the option of learning “popular/favorite” music alongside their more core-oriented skills. Parents appreciate the balanced teaching approach that encourages optimal challenge within a relaxed and supportive learning environment.
“Scott’s gentle guidance and passion for music has motivated my children not only to play the piano but also to explore different ways of playing - jazz, classical, and popular music - and to take what they have learned to compose their own little pieces. He teaches them not only how to play but also how to “feel” the music. He is a wonderful teacher.”
Adults
Beginning and returning students are often surprised at how quickly they’re playing melodies and songs. While most adults are primarily interested in playing for their own enjoyment, others prefer to concentrate on developing specific skills or, perhaps, explore new styles of music (e.g., Classical, Jazz, Broadway, Blues, etc.). Each person's path is unique.
“I started taking piano lessons as an adult because I wanted to set goals for myself that weren’t just about my career. I had played guitar nearly my whole life, but had always wanted to learn piano, so I was excited when I found Scott. I’ve been taking lessons for close to 2 years now and am floored by my progress. I’m able to play so much more than I thought I would be able to by now, and, most importantly, I’m having a ton of fun doing it!”
Playing Events
Community Music Showcase
School-age students share the stage with professional and college-level musicians along with invited musical guests during June's Student Showcase. Each student typically performs a solo piece along with a collaborative work.
