About Us

Enriching the lives of children

We believe in growth through performance, in that music has the power to be the inception of expansion and fulfillment for a child. We strive to create a positive learning environment with the constant support of the students, affirmation of their successes, and attention to detail.

We offer a diverse range of musical disciplines, including piano, singing, guitar, and violin. Our unique teaching method, embodied in Shilla’s successful 16-book piano method series, transforms piano lessons into a journey of passion and discovery. Our curriculum not only focuses on developing exceptional piano skills but also emphasizes personal growth, encouraging students to transcend their limits and embrace their full potential.

“Remarkable & inspiring”

“Both of my daughters have learned to play beautifully and they have gained confidence and self-esteem through the performances that Shilla takes the time to organize and present. Shilla is a remarkable and inspiring teacher on so many levels and we have been so grateful to have her in our lives!”
