Play with a Purpose is the philosophy of all of our programs including Group Keyboard Classes, Creative Drama Classes and Private Piano Lessons. We believe that all children are inherently creative and will blossom if given the right instruction and environment. Our on-site after-school group classes for children aged 3 to 15 offer convenience and the comfort of learning in a natural environment.  

“Doris is a passionate teacher dedicated to seeing each of her students succeed.  I have observed her working with children for over 20 years at The Music class and I highly recommend her classes.”

— Rob Sayer, founder and director, The Music Class, Inc.

“I like playing piano because I love the sound of music and when I can play it with my fingers I don't even need to have an Alexa. I especially love playing Disney music.”

— Presley, 8 years old, studying for three years

 

Music can inspire, empower, educate, motivate, and entertain … Music Matters!

Group Learning Vs. Private

Group classes have proven to be the most effective and enjoyable introduction to keyboard/piano playing for the young child beginning at age 3.  Our dynamic and engaging Suzuki-style method allows children to explore the sounds and rhythms of the electric keyboard while learning to play familiar songs by ear before being introduced to musical notation. When children can read English (around age 5)  they are ready to learn how to play using musical notation and the transition is effortless. Let Your child's first introduction to piano be joyful!  Learning how to play piano with your peers is fun!

“If I really work on it the sound I am producing can be really, really beautiful.  I love feeling my fingers dance along the keys.  Ms. Doris makes sure I am always advancing and she is really nice..the way Harry Potter music flows is amazing.  I like the challenge of memorizing pieces for the recitals as well as hearing all the other students play music I have not yet studied.”

Norah, 10, studying for four years

Our Creative Drama program taps into your child's inherent creativity and encourages them to think "outside the box".

“I love Drama Club because it helps me build confidence when I’m performing in front of people and we can do fun plays.”

  • Lucas, 15, studying for six years

    I have enjoyed taking lessons from Ms. Doris for the past 6 years because I like learning different styles of music and I like the challenge including classical, rock, Broadway and music from Harry Potter. I have never played a piece of music that I didn't like.

  • Andres, 13, studying for seven years

    I have been learning music with Ms. Doris for seven years. I love learning popular songs and rock music. It's great to be able to show off to my friends!

  • Spencer, 16, studying for 11 years

    Ms. Doris is very easy to communicate with which is important because music is a new language. Learning music theory on piano helped me transfer the skills to the clarinet. I've loved learning pieces of music from different media I enjoy and Ms. Doris has encouraged me to play music from movies and video games.

  • Nayna, 8, studying for four years

    I have been playing for four years. The piano is another fun activity to do. It calms me down when I'm mad or sad or having a bad day. Ms. Doris helps me learn how to play easily.

  • Rajesh G. Laungani, M.D., F.A.C.S. Director, Robotic surgery, Piedmont Hospital

    Our daughter has been a student with Ms. Doris for five years, since the age of 5. She is kind-hearted and loving while providing a disciplined environment for children to be challenged and meet their true musical potential … Twice a year, and even during the pandemic, she conducted a wonderful piano recital to allow each of her students to showcase their talents. My daughter went from PLAYING THE PIANO to becoming a PIANO PLAYER under the guidance and love of Ms. Doris.
