Caruth Piano Studio

All students will learn the vital discipline of practicing with joy! The studio provides many opportunities for performance and external feedback, allowing all students to learn quickly and clearly. With three grand pianos, a warm up area and a classroom environment, there are no "gimmicks" here- a life of teaching experience and success cannot be underestimated!.

If you're a parent who has no background in playing a musical instrument it's easy to be overwhelmed by the number of things the piano teacher accidentally takes for granted along the way. Don't be overly worried about this - the teacher won't have enough time in each lesson to fill in all the gaps and still keep your child engaged and enthused about their learning, but as time passes you'll become expert an at supporting your child's musical education.Your child simply cannot miss lessons. Unless you've just had a car accident, your child has a communicable disease, or your grandmother's funeral couldn't be scheduled any other day.

Regardless of age or prior experience, please fill out the information below for the next available interview. Interviews will be charged a $45 fee (If you decide to study at Caruth Piano Studio, this fee is fully reimbursed at the time of your first lesson payment.) Please share any additional information that may be useful such as learning styles, extra curricular activities, etc.
