In-Home and Online Piano Lessons

Additionally, we offer instrument evaluation and tuning services, instrument sales, and engaging music workshops. We are also currently offering lessons in guitar, ukulele, violin, saxophone, clarinet and digital recording.

Why The Right Music Lessons Matter
For kids:
When children feel bored, unchallenged, or lack confidence they often disengage. Over time, this can show up as frustration, poor focus, or missed opportunities during critical growth years.
For adults:
Unmanaged stress doesn’t stay small. Without a creative outlet and structured focus, stress can compound – affecting health, energy levels, and overall well-being.
Why choosing the right school matters:
Not all music programs are designed for real life. Lessons that aren’t engaging—or that lack flexible scheduling—often lead to stalled progress and unnecessary dropouts.
Talent doesn’t fade—it gets crowded out. Without the right structure, encouragement, and flexibility, both kids and adults can lose momentum before they ever discover what music can do for them.
The Dan Forbes Music difference:
We match students with instructors who fit their learning style and personality, offer multiple instructors to choose from, and provide easy online make-up scheduling—so lessons stay consistent, motivating, and effective. We provide both formal and informal recital opportunities – up to 6 opportunities per year, along with group workshops so that students build a sense of community which reinforces their learning.
With decades of teaching experience, Dan Forbes Music focuses on how people actually learn—emotionally, mentally, and practically—so students don’t just start lessons, they stick with them. Our Google and Facebook ratings speak for themselves!
The Plan:
1) Schedule an orientation call through our website. 2) Complete the orientation call and enrollment paperwork. 3) Choose a time slot for weekly lessons.
