Our Expertise

Piano Lessons in Scottsdale, Phoenix and Surrounding Areas

With our piano instructors in Scottsdale and Phoenix we can take brand-new beginners to professional musicians in just six weeks! (You’ll just need to practice about 50 hours a day for those six weeks.) In all honestly, we can take brand-new beginners to professional musicians, but it’s going to take a bit longer than 6 weeks. Our teaching staff has well over 250 years of music experience.

With all this experience, we want to make piano lessons fun AND productive. We want to see your student progress, brim with confidence, impress friends at school, play in the talent show, win competitions, perform on stage and shine! Our goal is to help them achieve their goals!

All of our studios feature beautiful pianos including our flagship 6' Steinway on stage at The B Side, a 7′ Yamaha Concert Grand, 6′ Yamaha Grand, 6' Petroff Grand, and a 6′ Baldwin Grand. To find pianos of this caliber for lessons anywhere else in the state, you'd have to go to a university.

Since 1990 we’ve had the honor of bringing music to thousands of piano students young and not-so-young. We look forward to working with YOU.
