Spiritoso offers piano instruction, from kindergarten through university levels.

​

Our team is well versed in all levels of teaching from kindergarten to professional degree seeking enthusiasts.  Each student is specifically assessed for skills in technique, theory, musicality and so forth.  Our mission is not to merely take each student and conform them to a strict program of rules and structure.  Rather, it is to make sure each student learns in a way that best suits their future growth and development.
