My son loves lessons

My son loves going to lessons every week. He has improved to the point where he learns new music on his own. We enjoy the recitals and it teaches the kids confidence in speaking to an audience and playing the pieces they learn in front of everyone. We are very proud parents. Thanks Anderson Piano Academy!

They love playing piano

Both my children and my wife really enjoy and have benefited from their piano lessons with Chris. As someone who did not find much happiness in my own childhood piano experience, I greatly appreciate what Chris has given my family. They love playing with and for each other, and I also notice that they have covered far more theory and technique than I did.

Finding joy in music

Chris Anderson has been a positive spot in our week for the last 3 years. He offers a fresh perspective on piano lessons, including the importance of finding joy in the process of learning music and in performing it for yourself or others.
