Top 3 Reasons Most Piano Lessons Don't Work, and Why Piano Pioneers is Different.
1. Most People... Take From a Teacher Who Isn’t Qualified

Would you get your hip replaced by someone with no medical training?

If your car broke down would you hire a teenager with no experience or training to fix it?

These examples might seem silly... but...

People often hire teachers without even a basic knowledge of the piano and how to teach it... and then wonder why they don’t learn!

Piano Pioneer Mentors are all University-trained teachers who have spent HOURS learning how to play and learn the piano. These people have GONE THROUGH THE SAME TRAINING I HAVE. They know what they are doing and will not fail you.

2. Most Piano Lessons Don't Work Because....They're Not Convenient.
“Who am I going to get to take you to piano lessons while I take your brother to baseball!”

I don’t know about you... but being one of four siblings all with different activities, goals, etc. means that things get BUSY!

I have several students that come to my home and, several students that take piano lessons online and you know what I have noticed?

Those that take piano lessons online actually GET LESSONS EVERY WEEK

Piano Pioneer lessons will be skyped lessons in your home. Making sure that you or your kids get consistent instruction every week.
3. Most people.... Have No Motivation!
I don’t know about you... but if I am going to practice it helps if I have a REASON.

When you join the Piano Pioneers, you will have the opportunity to participate in our online competitions and performances.

Between iPad/cash giveaways, grandparents across the country tuning in to watch you or your child play, and encouragement from everyone on our time, you or your children will have all the motivation you need to succeed.

I am going to work tirelessly to make the “Piano Pioneers,” the best possible way to learn how to play the piano.

My piano mentors and I are excited to work closely with you as we help you accomplish all of your goals!

Look forward to working with you more closely soon.

Thanks!
