Programs
Teaching Piano is our Passion!
Cassia offers private piano lessons for students from preschool and above. Individual lessons allow the student to move at a pace and cover material in a way that is uniquely suited to their own brain and temperament.
Preschool
Students ages 3-5, we have the perfect program for you! We use finger puppets and worksheets and lots of time off the bench. Learning through play is what children this age do best!
Elementary
Students age 5-12, never fear! Lessons for this age are never boring. We offer a solid grounding in note reading, rhythm, and musicality but there are plenty of board games, and even comics!
Teens / Adults
Older beginners from 13 and up can enjoy an accelerated start to their musical journey. Our modern approach helps students learn to play with both hands right from the start.
Online Students
Virtual piano lessons can be done from almost anywhere with a piano and a fast internet connection. Learn from the comfort of your own home, avoid travel time, or continue lessons after moving away!
Frequently asked questions
Students who are already attending full time kindergarten are generally well prepared for our earliest piano books. Preschool aged students may participate in a gentle play-based assessment to determine readiness.
Cassia offers private piano lessons from as young as 3 years old, grade school, teens, and adults of any age.
If you attend piano lessons in person, books are included in your monthly tuition. Online students will receive links to purchase the necessary books and have them shipped to their home. Recommendations are based on over 25 years of teaching experience.
Online students will need a piano from the first day of lessons for all ages. In person students should aim to select and purchase their home instrument as close to their start date as possible. We can help with recommendations and advice!
Returning students may engage in a piano skills assessment before their first lesson in order to determine placement. Many student may feel most comfortable starting from the beginning of our program so that they know they aren't missing any critical information.
Enrolled students are expected to choose a day and time that they will attend weekly. Individual lessons may easily be rescheduled using our online scheduler. Students who experience a permanent schedule change may change their weekly slot pending availability.
Online lessons allow students to learn from the comfort of their own home. Cassia does not travel for in person lessons.
When a student is enrolled in online students, the results are best when there is a fast connection speed and the camera is aimed so that the teacher can see your hands while playing. Progress for online students is similar to in person students when students practice consistently between lessons.
Cassia has lots of experience working with students diagnosed with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and more. Private lessons are tailored to focus on the student's strengths and preferences, and this allows students of many different backgrounds to thrive and really enjoy the experience of making music.
