Spring School of Music

What can a few months of music lessons look like? 🎹

It doesn't happen all at once.

First it's finding the notes. Then getting the rhythm. Then putting things together without stopping every few seconds.

And somewhere along the way, something that once felt really difficult starts to feel...natural.

That's one of our favorite things to watch happen.

Progress doesn't have to be fast to be exciting. It just has to keep moving forward. 🎶

“I’d love for my child to learn an instrument. I just don’t want to fight about practicing every night.”

Fair. 😄

Practice matters, but learning music shouldn't turn into a nightly battle between parent and child.

Some days, practice will be great. Other days, getting through a few minutes may be the win.

The goal isn't a perfect practice streak. It's helping children gradually learn that getting better at something takes repetition, patience and a little persistence, even when they don't feel like doing it.

And yes, sometimes they’ll need a reminder.

They’re kids. That’s okay. 🎶

Why do we give our students so many opportunities to perform? 🎶

At Spring School of Music, we hold four recitals each year.

Not because every student dreams of performing on a stage, plenty of them are nervous about it!

We do it because having something to work toward changes the way students learn.

There’s a date on the calendar. A piece they want to be ready to play. A reason to keep working through the tricky parts instead of giving up.

And then comes the best part: getting to look back and say, “I did it.”

The performance may only last a few minutes. The confidence that comes from preparing for it can last much longer. 💛

What exactly is Piano Lab? 🎹

It’s a question we get from parents, because Piano Lab is a little different from what many people picture when they think of piano lessons.

Students learn alongside other students, but each child is working at their own level, at their own pace, with individualized instruction from their teacher.

One student may be working on their first few songs while another is tackling something much more advanced. They don’t have to keep up with the person next to them, or wait for anyone else to catch up.

For many kids, it’s a great combination: individual attention with the energy of learning alongside other students.

That’s Piano Lab. 🎹

Does your child make music out of...well, everything? 🎶

Maybe they're always singing, even making up songs about whatever they're doing.

Maybe they're tapping rhythms on the table, drumming on their legs, or turning spoons into instruments.

Maybe the toy piano, xylophone or anything else that makes music is always the toy they come back to.

Kids don't always walk up to their parents and say, “I'd like to take music lessons.” Sometimes they don't even know that's an option yet.

But they'll often show you they're interested in music long before they ever ask.

Sometimes you just have to listen. 🎵

One of the best parts of recital season isn’t what happens on stage, it’s what happens after. 🎶

Yes, music lessons are about learning to play an instrument, but they’re also about so much more: confidence, connection, and learning to cheer each other on.

At a recent recital, a normally shy, quiet student finished her performance, sat down next to the student who had performed before her, and said:

“Hi! My name is Emma, what is your name? You did a GREAT JOB!!”

In that moment, her shyness disappeared, not for herself, but to encourage someone else.

This is why we do what we do. 🎶💛
