about

“I believe there is no great divide between teacher and student, only experience. Our goal is to share the tools, discipline, and guidance that allows each student to reach, surpass, and define success on their own musical terms.”

cannon music studio teaches piano and flute to children and teens. lessons are private and paced to the student, and every year ends the same way — on a stage, in front of a real audience, playing something they have made their own

Piano & Flute · Beginners welcome

lessons

Piano & Flute — private instruction

two instruments, one approach: steady technique, repertoire worth the work, and a stage at the end of the year. beginners are welcome on both

  1. 01

    meet & listen

    a first lesson is mostly listening — what the student already hears, and where the honest starting line is

  2. 02

    foundations

    hand shape, breath, posture, reading. the unglamorous part, taught properly, is what makes the rest possible

  3. 03

    practice with purpose

    students leave each lesson knowing exactly what to do at home, and why it matters

  4. 04

    perform

    every year ends on a stage. preparing to be heard changes how a student plays long before the night arrives

Private lessons

piano

Beginners welcome

the first instrument for most of our students. posture, hand shape and a tone worth listening to — then the music they actually want to play

Flute

Private lessons

flute

Beginners welcome

breath first, then tone, then line. flute students learn to carry a melody on their own air — and to play alongside other people, which is a different skill entirely

Every student plays

once a year the studio moves to a stage. every student prepares a piece, walks out in front of a real audience, and plays it. it is the part they remember

moments

the studio is more than the lesson. this is what a year looks like — a duet in costume, a winter afternoon at the keyboard, flowers after the last piece
