Lessons for All Ages
Pfafftown Piano believes in quality instruction for children and adults. Here, you'll become a versatile musician.
Pfafftown Piano delivers piano instruction in a fun, encouraging manner with each student given tools to help him or her build a solid foundation in music. The studio's techniques not only work for beginners but also help intermediate and advanced pianists grow and develop. Our teaching style suits your schedule and your time!
The studio offers a non-traditional method, asynchronous lessons, as a response to COVID-19 teaching challenges that began in 2020. Asynchronous lessons have quickly become a popular choice for folks wishing to learn on their own schedule. Additionally, owner and lead teacher, Amy Turner, created a fully online video course for brand new beginners called "Consider Piano." Consider Piano serves to answer the question, "Is my child ready for lessons?" before committing.
Fully Equipped for Online Learning
In 2020, Pfafftown Piano outfitted the studio for video-based, asynchronous, and course-based learning.

Creative Learning Methods
Choose the method that works best for you and your schedule!
Offering Video-Based Asynchronous Lessons
In-person lessons serve as the traditional model for piano lessons, but they definitely aren't the only way to learn. With Pfafftown Piano poised to operate in many different high-tech capacities, the studio made the decision to teach only ansynchronous, video-based (not Zoom) lessons. Asynchronous lessons are a “conversation” between teacher and student, traded via videos texted or emailed, as many times per week as the student chooses. This method is extremely convenient, with students learning and performing completely on their own time. Async lessons are available to anyone with a camera and recording capabilities!

Piano study depends entirely on student practice. That said, a student practicing consistently can learn a lot in a short time. Your instructor serves as your guide and consultant during your learning process, but the speed of progress is up to you.
Yes, you can! Of course! Why not? Your instructor will assist you in finding a method to help you learn the basics, but by all means, playing music you love is the goal.
