Piano Lessons at FreshStart Piano Studio

“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 that drives us piano teachers.

While all the intellectual benefits of piano lessons are a nice bonus, the real value of studying the piano are the life skills and values it teaches students. (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; this is what motivates us as piano teachers at FreshStart and our teaching philosophy is our guide in accomplishing that goal.

"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 encouragement 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."
