Piano Lessons
Long considered the quintessential instrument for all social classes, the piano has stood the test of time for over three centuries. Whether one loves to be transported to an early-1800s Germany through Beethoven's sublime sonatas, to hearken back to the sounds of the previous century's Chicago jazz clubs, or to simply be able to accompany him- or herself while singing today's hits each evening, the piano is the central force behind each of these wonderful endeavors. It doesn't matter if you have a 9-foot concert grand made by Steinway & Co. or an electric piano given to you as a gift; you have a place among those who love to feel their fingers dance across those 88 keys.
