About
The First Note
Starting in 1994 we taught at Musik Innovations and Johnstonbaugh's Music Centers. We opened our own music studios in 2010 wanting to improve the learning experience for our students. We have a grand piano in one of the studios. Sound proofing makes the rooms more condusive to learning. We offer a large comfortable waiting area for siblings and parents. This is an ideal location and we can't wait for you to begin your musical journey.
