Private piano instruction north of 540 on Fall of Neuse Rd. All ages welcome! My studio is a mix of homeschool, public school, and private school students plus adult learners. Typically, three recital events a year are offered for performance opportunities. Lesson focus includes applied music theory and practical music skills.
