Have you always wanted to play piano?
Now is your time to learn piano! Our teacher-led Foundations course is now available and is designed for adult learners.
You Belong at the Piano...
Piano Adagio is an adult-first piano methodology created for the learner who has always wanted to play the piano. If you gave up lessons when young, or are finally crossing piano off your bucket list, we make piano accessible and enjoyable, because our goal is to create life-long pianists
Based in psychology, our courses are designed to put you at ease with a steady, realistic pace, and demonstrated wins. We do this by looking at piano instruction differently- designed in a way to show you the big picture of music and build foundational skills without overwhelming you with concepts and theory!
This piano method is built on how the brain learns and benefits— with a student-centered approach that uses pattern recognition, intervalic reading, and steady progress with the goal to instill a love of piano and a deeper understanding of music.
There are Three Ways to Learn!
Teacher + Student
One of the best ways to learn piano is with an experienced teacher! Piano Adagio is available as a curriculum for teachers to use with 1-5 students per lesson (Teacher Book Coming Soon).
Online
We understand that adults have some of the most demanding schedules, so Piano Adagio will soon be available as an online course. This is a low-commitment way to see if the piano is right for you!
Online + Cohort
Piano is better with others! After the launch of our online program, we will offer 8 week, teacher-led cohorts that will meet weekly. This gives students the best of flexible learning and people support!
Join Our Upcoming Fall Cohorts!
Our self-paced online course will be launching soon! To keep you supported as you learn piano, we'll have weekly cohorts beginning in September and October!
Make the Most of your Practice Time
Practice books for young and adult learners are now available! These books are based on a rubric to help any pianist self-assess their practice in target areas: accuracy, timing / tempo, dynamics and articulation, and confident performance. There is additional space to makes notes on assignments, goals, and anything else!
A Different Approach to Adult Piano
By taking a fresh look at how we teach piano, we hope to make learning more fun, enjoyable, and possible for more students! Here's how we do things a little differently...
You Won't be Overwhelmed with Concepts & Theory
We'll work at a steady pace, adding in only a few concepts at a time and take a look at how these concepts fit into the bigger picture of music. This take learning to a deeper level.
We Keep Muscle Memory in Mind
With a steady pace, this allows us to build muscle memory - because when we play piano, we're working with our brains, eyes, and muscle, so this allows for all areas to sync up.

We Keep a Good Balance of Quick Wins with Progress

We Know Learning is Messy, and We'll Teach You How to Learn
Sometimes adult learners come with high expectations of themselves, which can quickly demotivate. We'll keep in mind that learning is a messy process, that you won't be perfect at the first try, and that is okay - because we're after progress.
We'll Begin with Pattern Recognition
When a pianist plays piano, they don't ready every single note, but find notes here and there and watch the patterns in-between. We'll emphasize pattern recogni
You'll See the Big Picture - To Enjoy Piano!
We purposely built our curriculum so you see how what you're learning fits into the big picture of music - how it works, how it connects to life, and why piano play is good for your cognitive and mental health!
14+ Years Piano Teaching
Lehigh M.Ed. Student
Your Piano Teacher
I began teaching piano in high school and continued to do so for the next 13 years as I raised my kids. Last year I rediscovered my love for teaching after working for a decade in marketing and am taking on students.
I have an ALB from Harvard and currently in grad school for my M.E.d. at Lehigh University.
Music has always been a significant part of my life including teaching, playing for church, singing in choirs, and learning more about its foundations. Music is an incredible phenomenon that reaches the heart, soul, mind, and body unlike any other activity, and I believe it is a critical part of a life well-lived.
