Could your child fall in love with piano?
Listening. Play. Creativity. Understanding. Community.
"I'm a music teacher as well, and with my child in piano lessons with Arielle, I can testify that she's the real deal...Arielle offers real musical learning that can be applied across instruments, and she teaches excellent piano technique. My daughter says she's the best piano teacher in the world!"

How are these piano lessons different?
CREATIVITY IS CENTRAL
Students don't just learn new songs and check them off - they engage at a much deeper level by drawing pictures to go with the music, renaming pieces, and making their own versions (kind of like a cover without words).
MOVEMENT IS VITAL
We process music through movement! Students don't just sit at the piano bench - they move creatively, tap to the beat, and embody the mood of the music.
THE FORMAT PROGRESSES WITH THE STUDENT
Not just one-on-one lessons, not just large groups. Students begin in semi-private lessons so they have immediate musical interaction, then add individual lessons to work on technique.
What parents are saying:
"The look of accomplishment on Haleigh’s face is all the assurance I need to know that proves that Arielle’s teaching techniques ignite that passion for the desire to play music from the heart and not just the assigned pages."
- Teri C., Haleigh's grandmother
"Miss Arielle is an excellent teacher— very patient, kind and serious. She helped my crazy 6 year old learn to focus and sit down at the piano and gave positive encouragement throughout the lesson. Pairing students together in a thoughtful way helped my child bounce ideas off of his partner and “show off” to each other so that the lessons were fun and educational."
- Ariana G., Abram's mom
"...My daughter never wants to miss any of the classes..."
- Sumathy P., Rithanya's mom
Let's have a phone call!
1
I'll ask about your child and your family: age, musical experience, interests, your musical background (if any), and your hopes for music lessons.
2
We'll talk about how the studio works: the learning experience, schedule, tuition, practice, etc!
3
If it seems like this learning style might work for your child, we'll set up a free Studio Meeting so you and your child can see the space and experience this learning approach before deciding to enroll.
BEFORE WE TALK...
Is your family ready for piano lessons?
Is my child old enough?
My youngest students are about 4.5 years old. If you're not sure, let's talk about it!
Can it fit into my schedule?
I teach on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays between 3 and 7pm.
The studio is located 10 minutes south of downtown Manassas.
Most students come to lessons once a week for at least one hour.
Do I need a piano at home?
Yes! If you need help finding one, we can talk about it on our call.
