Music, while fun and entertaining, is an important key ingredient to achieving success in any endeavor.  Studies have shown a significant correlation between music and some of the deepest workings of the human brain, affecting our neurological, psychological, and physical function.  For years, researchers have linked music with enhanced language differentiation and development, math skills, better-adjusted social behavior, improved school grades, and improvements in spatial-temporal reasoning (problem solving skills).*

At Haller Piano & Theory Studio, lessons are designed to accommodate age and ability in order to take advantage of the music/brain correlation in a fun and enthusiastic age-appropriate environment.  Piano instruction focuses on physical requirements such as posture and breathing technique, as well as sight-reading, memorization, and the fundamentals of theory.  Students learn to understand and play many styles of music and have the opportunity to perform in recitals and competitions.
