The piano is the most versatile of all musical instruments and its capacity to add harmony to melody is enjoyed by all. It is an invaluable first instrument for beginning music study and understanding basic music fundamentals and theory.

Whether you learn to play the piano for a few years and move onto another instrument or enjoy it as a lifelong interest the piano is an excellent choice for everyone!
