The Mark Phillips Piano studio Method

The Problem

Children and traditional piano lessons don’t exactly mix…

Today’s piano lessons are often very rigid, stressful, and boring. Putting a child in that environment might have some negative consequences.

I have had many parents tell me their fears when signing their children up for piano lessons:

  • My child will be bored during lessons.

  • I don’t want piano lessons to be another chore to fight about at home.

  • I’m afraid my child won’t get along with the piano teacher.

  • My child is easily distracted. Is this a waste of money?

  • I’m afraid they won’t practice.

  • I’m afraid my child will resent me for signing them up for lessons.

These are all valid fears! However, our Piano Program at Mark Phillips Piano Studio conquers these fears every week!

The Solution

Our Piano Program is the perfect fit for beginner through intermediate level students.

This program is taught in a lab setting of a max of 9 children per group, all at their own piano.

Each student wears headphones and learns at their own pace.

Why teach this way?

  • Songs are learned at the lesson. This makes practicing at home easier and more fun!

  • Students become independent learners. From the very first lesson, students are equipped with the tools to learn songs on their own (with teacher supervision).

  • Students complete their lesson books up to 50% faster than traditional lessons. Students learn an average of 30 - 50 songs by the end of their first year of lessons!

  • Students are motivated by other students’ progress and focus.

  • Less anxiety! Students wear headphones and work privately. They work at their own pace to perfect their songs before playing for the teacher.

  • Students feel a sense of community and develop friendships inside the studio.
