Lessons for children, teens, and adults.
OPSMA piano lessons are designed around the student in front of us, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Younger students need a strong foundation and engaging pacing. Teenagers often want a mix of technique and repertoire. Adults may want either a structured pathway or a more relaxed personal goal.
Children
Build note reading, rhythm, hand position, listening, and healthy practice habits in a supportive one-on-one setting.
Teens
Develop stronger technique, musical expression, sight-reading, and repertoire while keeping lessons aligned with goals and interests.
Adults
Start from the beginning, return after a long break, or focus on favourite pieces, chords, reading, and personal enjoyment.
