Gradus ad Parnassum

With prospective students, we try to outline the extrinsic goals:

from childhood experience in music to building a solid foundation for a lifetime hobby or a profession.

 The goals are inspiring, -- but the road to the summit is just as fascinating. We see the study of music as a journey of discovery, 

When we master what we discover, we mobilize our senses and minds, build character and confidence.

We can outline the goals and the pace of study, but we there are no boundaries in how music can positively transform us and impact our lives.

Curricula, Styles, and Repertoire

                                                                                                     “When I hear music… I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest.” -- H.D. Thoreau

The cultural and musical heritage that we are enjoying today, draws from a long history.

The piano music we study and perform now comes from the Renaissance to Contemporary time,

A well-rounded curriculum means exposure to a.variety of styles, even for a beginner.

There is an abundance of repertoire literature available now - to suit your taste and personality.
