Free trial lessons
Every new student is invited to take a free trial lesson, with no obligation to continue. We teach piano, guitar, ukulele, and voice, with our youngest students beginning piano as early as age 3½. Lessons are tailored for kids, adults, and seniors alike.
A trial lesson gives you a chance to meet your teacher, see how lessons work, and decide whether our school is the right fit for your family.
We want your first experience to be relaxed, informative, and fun.
A Note About Missed or Canceled Trials
Trial lessons are free to you, but not to us. Our teachers are paid for their time, so please treat your trial appointment with care.
If you are unable to attend your free trial after scheduling, we ask for at least 48 hours’ notice.
If notice is not given, you may schedule another trial lesson for a $20 fee (30 minutes), payable in advance.
You can text or call 903-385-4149 to cancel or reschedule.
What to Bring
- If you have a portable instrument, bring it, even if it needs some TLC.
- If you have a piano, you’re welcome to bring a photo or short video if you would like our input.
- If you do not have an instrument yet, no problem. We will provide one for your lesson.
- Bring any music you have worked on before or would like to explore.

preschool and early age students
We love working with young beginners, but not every child is ready for private piano lessons.
A child is usually ready for piano lessons when you can answer most of these questions “yes”:
- Does your child show interest in the piano?
- Does he/she like listening and moving to music?
- Is he/she excited about the prospect of piano lessons?
- Is your child comfortable being away from you for short periods of time?
- Does your child know the difference between “banging” on the piano keys vs playing “softly”?
- Does your child respond well to questions asked by adults other than his parents?
- Does your child sit and listen to stories with interest?
- Is your child easily brought back to task when needed?
- Can your child speak clearly and make himself understood in most situations?
- Can your child wiggle only his thumbs or only his index fingers when asked?
- Can your child hold a pencil or crayon?
- Is your child toilet trained?
- Can your child follow two-part directions when asked? (for example, “Use your right hand to pick up the toy and put it on the table”)
- Can your child focus on a single task for 5-minute intervals?
- Do you have a piano or adequate keyboard at home?
- Will you be able to make the time to sit with your child regularly to assist with home piano time? Preschool piano students need their parents to help them at home every day.
- Do you have the ability to bring your child to lessons regularly?
