Every effort should be made to provide the highest quality instrument available to the child from the very first lesson. This means that small electronic keyboards are just not acceptable for quality and authentic musical instruction. Run-down, out-of-tune pianos will not inspire even the youngest children to want to play.

I have found a direct correlation between the quality of instrument the parents provide the child and the rate and satisfaction, progress, and enjoyment of the of lessons. A beautiful and quality instrument draws in the child, the parent, and all who are near the piano. Please be prepared to start lessons with a quality upright or piano. Rental programs are very afforable and start around $40 a month. Please ask for assistance if you are in need of an instrument to rent or to buy.
