Piano Lessons for Kids & Teens

Yes, they can learn piano and love it!

There’s something exciting about hearing your child sit down at the piano and play a song they’ve been eager to learn. Along the way, lessons give them opportunities to develop independence, resilience, and patience with themselves.

Let’s play their favorite songs!

I want your child to love playing the piano. Learning their favorite songs helps make that happen. Along the way, I teach them to read music, understand chord charts, and play by ear so they can explore more of the music they enjoy.

They can figure it out!

Sometimes one small thing makes a whole song feel difficult. I watch your child play, help them understand what’s causing the difficulty, and work through it with them step by step. Then we put the music back together, and they get to hear what their effort accomplished.

They’ll know how to practice at home!

We practice together during the lesson so your child knows how to work at home. I show them what to focus on, have them try it themselves, and check that they understand before moving on.

Wait, they can play that already?!

I developed my beginner curriculum to help students understand music and make progress quickly. They learn familiar songs while discovering how keyboard patterns, notes, and chords fit together.

That understanding helps them learn new music more easily as they advance. They’re building on what they already know each time they learn something new.

And yes, it works!

Parents tell me their children are learning more quickly than they expected, looking forward to lessons, and sitting down to play music on their own.

Here’s what parents are noticing. Excerpts from their Google reviews.

“They can already play several chords and songs I thought would take much longer for them to learn. They feel comfortable and welcome in her home studio and are always excited to go to practice.”
— Yvette · Google review excerpt
“She’s able to explain things to my son in ways that are easy to understand for a young beginner. She’s also very encouraging and positive. My son always leaves practice with a big smile on his face.”
— Stephanie · Google review excerpt
“She is very talented herself and she challenges my boys while making learning fun for them. She teaches reading music, playing by ear and composing music as well. My boys have grown so much under her instruction. I highly recommend her!”
— Becca · Google review excerpt
“In the 2.5 years my child has been taking lessons he has learned numerous songs, can sight read over 15 notes, and if he hears a tune he likes, he will run straight to his piano and play it by ear.”

Your Piano Teacher

Hi! I'm Grace.

I've taught piano for 18 years and worked with hundreds of students, some of whom have gone on to careers in music.

I've performed at weddings, church services, and concerts, including an appearance as a featured soloist with the Black Swamp Community Orchestra. I've also accompanied the orchestra and served as a church pianist and accompanist for more than 14 years.

I want your child to enjoy coming to lessons and feel capable when they sit down to play. I notice when they’re ready for a bigger challenge, when they need a different explanation, and when they’ve improved enough that we should stop and appreciate it. I continue studying how children learn and what helps them stay motivated, and use that knowledge in everyday lessons.

You probably have a few questions!

Is this a good fit for beginners?

Yes! Absolutely. Drawing on 18 years of teaching, I’ve developed a beginner curriculum that gives students a strong start and helps them progress quickly. They learn familiar songs while discovering how keyboard patterns, notes, and chords fit together. That understanding carries into more advanced music, helping them learn new pieces more easily as they move through future levels.

What if my child already plays?

I’ll find out what your child can do, what they enjoy, and what they’d like to learn next. Lessons can strengthen reading and technique, help with difficult passages, and build toward more demanding music as they’re ready.

What do lessons look like?

During each 45-minute lesson, students work at their own pace with individual instruction and feedback.

What happens after I request a trial?

I’ll text you with available free trial lesson options. We’ll talk about your child’s interests and experience, and find a time to try a lesson.

Where is the studio?

Grace’s Piano Studio is in the Blackhawk area of northeast Fort Wayne, Indiana, near the intersection of Maplecrest Road and East State Boulevard.

What if practice is a struggle?

We’ll talk about what’s getting in the way and choose something practical to try. Your child may need a smaller task, a clearer explanation, a favorite song to begin with, or a routine that fits your family. I follow up to see what helped.

What support is available between lessons?

Students can send practice videos for additional guidance. The studio app keeps assignments, questions, and practice challenges in one place.
