At McAllister Music Studio, piano lessons for kids start from a simple belief: students learn best when they're playing music they love. Our children's department builds every lesson plan around each child's interests and needs, creating a steady, joyful path toward real musicianship.

Our exclusive curriculum includes:

  • Music theory

  • Technique

  • Sight reading

  • Ear training

  • Improvisation

  • Analyzing chord progressions

  • Songwriting

Through excellent teaching and strong fundamentals, our young pianists grow into confident, creative, independent musicians. Whether lessons are online or in-person, students learn to read music, develop outstanding technique, and understand music theory — while also learning to play chords, sing along if they wish, and feel rhythm in their bodies through drums and other percussion.

By connecting lessons to the music our students genuinely love, we spark curiosity and motivation that lasts well beyond the lesson itself. Students leave MMS each week with a smile on their face and plenty to practice, and they get to share what they've built with our community at open mics throughout the year & at the annual spring recital.

Children can study piano with

“Our daughter has come amazingly far in the time she has been with McAllister music; from not being able to play a note, to playing very difficult songs. She loves all the teachers and the weekly lesson and is always excited to go and always in a good mood after.”

“Our 10 year old daughter has been taking lessons for 5 years. She is thrilled with every lesson, always wants it to last longer, and loves the musical selections she is assigned.

It is a joy to see how our daughter has grown musically and truly loves playing piano.”
