PIANO - VOICE - STRINGS - TODDLER MUSIC LESSONS

“The arts aren’t just important because

they improve math scores,​ they are

important because they speak to parts

of children’s being which are otherwise

​untouched.”

“A real education has to give equal

weight to the arts, humanities, to

​physical education."

Two quotes from TED talk legend Sir Ken Robinson revealing the roadmap for raising your kids.

While all the intellectual benefits of piano and music lessons are a nice bonus, the real value of taking music lessons are the life skills and values it teaches kids. (this is probably why music majors have the highest acceptance rate into medical schools.)

The fact that music education creates well-rounded, confident children, helps them become whole human beings who are sensitive to the world around them and teaches them the ability to think critically is why finding your music school and giving your kids music lessons is such an important and worthwhile undertaking. 

We help parents starting music lessons for their children avoid
 
the dreaded "practice battles" and the lonely nature of

instrumental studies by helping students practice with our Piano

Dojo program and supplemental group classes so kids make

progress together, grow together, and make music friends (and

​who wouldn't want more of those?!)

"Pierce and I are so very grateful for Kevin. He is the piano teacher and role model I wished I'd found as a young girl and I am so very thankful I was led to him for our son. Pierce looks so forward to his visit with him each week. I watch him as he enthusiastically engages in each lesson and I just love Kevin’s energy, his spirit, his kindness, his patience and his method. Kevin is amazing with children and he creates an environment that is friendly and inspiring."

"My 6-years-old daughter takes private piano lessons with Ms. Tsai and group class with Ms. Clare. Their music material is systematic and they are experienced in teaching young kids. Annabelle progresses steadily and gains confidence from the encouragements of Ms. Clare and Ms. Tsai. I feel Annabelle gets lots of individual attention from them, which she might not have in YAMAHA or other franchise commercial music school."

"My 5 year old grandson, Josiah, just loves FreshStart Piano Studio and his teacher, Clare!  He always says, "Clare is just the best piano teacher!  I just love her."  Clare is kind, gentle, loving, sweet, completely talented and she helps all of her students enjoy and look forward to their piano lessons!  FreshStart is truly an exceptional piano studio!  It has happy and loving  teachers, tons of respect and caring for all their students and an abundance of talent and skills to share!

​In the future, I look forward to Josiah being exposed to the skills of playing the piano and absorbing the wonderful gift of music which can be with him forever.  Finding FreshStart Piano Studio has been a gift to all of us!  We love it!"
