Choose an instrument
Piano
Children learn each piece one hand at a time first, so even very young children can start easily. You'll need an acoustic piano or a digital piano with hammer-action keys.

Violin
Young children start on a small violin sized to their arm and move up as they grow. Your teacher helps you choose the right size.

The Suzuki Method
Dr Shinichi Suzuki believed every child can learn music the way they learn their mother tongue. Here's what that looks like in our lessons.
Learning by ear
Children first learn to play by listening, developing strong musical memory before reading notes — the natural way all children learn language.
Parent partnership
Parents are active partners, learning how to guide home practice and support progress in a positive, nurturing way.
Positive environment
Each lesson builds confidence through small steps and frequent review, helping children feel proud of what they can do.

What families say
We had a great first lesson with Christine. She was excellent at engaging Natalie and guiding her forward, and Natalie even played the piano with her, which was a relief for me given how slow she can be to warm up.
I feel so blessed to have found Lynne-Marie!! We are very happy with her teachings, she's patient, kind, and extremely smart and supportive. I definitely recommend her to anyone.
We feel so lucky to have found you to teach the girls. You have an amazing balance of giving them pointers and growing their skills, while allowing enough flexibility for each girl to bring her full self to the lesson.
