Why families love Crescendo
I want every child to leave class smiling and excited to come back. Here is how we make that happen.
We learn through games, movement, and singing, so kids stay engaged and remember what they learn.
Your child will play songs, read music, and keep a steady beat, building a foundation that lasts.
I meet every child where they are and help them feel capable, encouraged, and proud of their progress.
What makes Crescendo different
Kids don't just sit at the piano. They sing, move, play games, listen, create, and learn real piano skills step by step.
At Crescendo Piano Academy, children do not just sit at the piano the whole class. A group class may include singing, movement, rhythm games, listening activities, piano playing, and time to create music together.
Students may clap a beat, move around the room, play a music game, take turns at the piano, or work together as a group. The goal is to help children learn real music skills in a way that feels fun, active, and age-appropriate.
This is real piano learning, taught in a way children actually enjoy.

Akera Harry Meet your teacher
I started piano lessons when I was 8 years old. Like a lot of students, my lessons were very traditional, full of scales, exercises, and pieces at the piano. That training gave me a strong foundation and I am truly thankful for it. But once I started teaching, I saw how much more children light up when music is active, playful, and fun.
I wanted my students to do more than sit and play notes. I wanted them to sing, move, play games, listen, and create. That is why I started Crescendo Piano Academy. Whether your child is in a group class or a private lesson, my goal is always the same. I want to create a warm, encouraging place where kids grow, gain confidence, and genuinely love making music.

One-on-one instruction
Free trial available. Books and materials may be separate. Exact class options, tuition details, and next steps are sent after you request a trial.
Fall classes begin the week of August 17. Available class options will be sent after you request a trial.
New students are welcome to start with one free trial class or lesson before enrolling. It is a no pressure way for your child to meet me, see the studio, and find the program that fits them best.
The 2026 to 2027 school year runs from the week of August 17, 2026 through May 28, 2027. Every student has a set weekly day and time saved just for them. I share a full studio calendar with holidays, breaks, and the end of year make up week before the year begins. Summer lessons and camps are separate, and summer enrollment opens in April.
Monthly tuition holds your child's weekly spot for the whole school year. It is an annual amount split into equal monthly payments rather than a per lesson charge, so your payment stays the same whether a month has more or fewer lessons. Tuition is due on the 1st of each month, and August is due before the first lesson. I accept the MyMusicStaff Parent Portal, Zelle, Venmo, or cash. Books and materials are separate and are non refundable once purchased.
Since every student has a weekly spot reserved just for them, missed lessons are not refunded or deducted from tuition. When your child misses, you can send a short video of their current assignment within one week and I will give personal feedback, or you can use the end of year make up week for up to two in person make ups when available. If I ever need to cancel, that lesson will always be made up or credited.
Kids grow the most when music becomes a natural part of their week. Just a few focused minutes several days a week makes a real difference. Piano students will need a piano or keyboard at home to practice on.
Current families
Crescendo Piano Academy uses MyMusicStaff to keep families organized. Through the parent portal you can:
Current families can sign in to MyMusicStaff to manage schedules, payments, and lesson notes.
If the studio ever needs to close for weather or an emergency, I will offer that lesson online in the same time slot when possible, or cover it during the end of year make up week. I will let families know as early as I can through the portal, text, or email.
If your child is feeling sick, please keep them home and let me know as soon as you can. A video make up option is available once they feel well enough to play.
Families are responsible for supervising their children before and after lessons, including in the waiting area. Please plan to drop off and pick up on time.
The easiest ways to reach me are by text, email, or through the MyMusicStaff Parent Portal. Please keep your contact and payment information current in the portal.
If your family needs to stop lessons, please give 30 days written notice by dated email or text. Tuition is still due during the notice period since your weekly spot is being held, and any books or materials already purchased are non refundable.
Now and then I may take photos or short videos during lessons, classes, camps, or performances to celebrate student progress. Families simply choose yes or no, and you can change your preference at any time in writing.
