“Teacher Chelsea is inspiring her students. My son takes her class and she is friendly and engaging from the first minute. He has always enjoyed interacting with Teacher Chelsea and puts the time and effort in to improve because he loves her class so much!”

“My 5 year old has loved her Mini Piano Plus class and teachers, Ann Marie and Matthew! She started mid year in 2023 and continued on this year, which really allowed her to lay a strong base, especially for reading music! The classes have easily digestible lessons, are play-based, and make music super accessible! She is learning so much AND is excited every week. Absolutely recommend for a joyful introduction to reading music, keyboard and ukulele skills.”

“I like when we play the balloon game and when we play the floor is lava. I love when we leave that I get a sticker. I like when I get to play the glockenspiel and the piano and when I get to play with the green rhythm sticks, to tap them and to pretend to play a violin with them.”
– Daniel K (Student)
Piano is the #1 musical instrument, providing the best foundation for all musical knowledge, enhancing the eye, ear, & brain functions needed to play and understand other instruments well.
Therefore, Mini Piano Plus classes truly are the best next step! Our Mini Piano Plus students are playing educational, adorable songs on the piano with the added bonus of ukulele introductions and overall musicianship, including literacy, ear-training and music theory. They can name all the instruments of the orchestra, and identify important piano & orchestra composers around the world.
Give your child a musical gift today, connecting them with other students in this clever, collaborative environment. We learn the piano in a way that is adapted for young children’s smaller hands. Most importantly, these students are learning to play the piano plus exploring the other elements essential to smart musicianship. In addition, these children become musically literate, reading rhythmic and staff notation.
Consequently, they jump into our school’s piano teams or piano lessons full of confidence, enthusiasm and an ability to feel and express the music with their whole being. We teach piano to the whole child, with activities that activate all senses, in a vibrant, alive classroom environment. Remarkably, these children will be musicians for a lifetime!
This class is the perfect, smart piano class for young children, with so many additional perks! 
Piano is the one instrument that teaches everything a child needs to know to learn any other musical instrument. This is the most important foundational instrument for all young musicians.
As a bonus, your child will also be introduced to the ukulele, a small stringed instrument, a wise first step before learning guitar or violin. This teaches children another coordination skill, and a different music notation system.
Mini Piano Plus for kids ages 4 – 5 years old is a pressure-free class which prepares children with the skills they will need to succeed in piano first, along with the added bonus of ukulele- prep, offering a window into future guitar or string instrument instruction. Here, your child will begin the process of playing the piano, while reading music, notes and rhythms, on several other bonus instruments. These lucky students are receiving a rich, well-rounded experience, with the piano as the primary, central focal point.
“I like playing the piano and playing the clock game.”
