Piano Lessons in the Ada - Forest Hills - Lowell - Grand Rapids - Rockford area

Piano-Lessons-Ada, Grand Rapids Michigan
I was surprised how quickly she had him recognizing notes and playing songs

"I have had a very positive three-year experience taking my children to piano lessons at Ada Piano Academy.  My son was only 4 years old when he started lessons, and I was surprised at how quickly he began to recognize notes and play songs.  She makes it a fun experience for the kids and is creative in keeping them interested and excited to attend lessons. 
​ 
I highly recommend lessons at Ada Piano Academy!

She's a great music teacher, and I'm lucky to have her
Ms. Betz is big on confidence.  She is always telling me to think positively.  In her class, she doesn't allow students to put themselves down by saying things like, "I failed" or "This is too hard".  She's patient and will help you work through your pieces with practice tips.  In the end, she's a great music teacher, and I'm lucky to have her."

His development is "WAY" beyond what we would have imagined. Thank you for all that you do." 
"We spoke to a few music teachers when Derek was 4 years old.  We were told to wait until he was 7 or 8 to start with piano lessons.  We knew we wanted him to be exposed to music, but we were not sure what the correct age was.  When we got your letter offering to teach at a younger age, we were very excited.  We could not be happier with Derek's progress.  We did not have expectations as we did not play instruments. His development is "WAY" beyond what we would have imagined. Thank you for all that you do."
