I began taking private lessons at Piano Preparatory School in 2022 while I was still in high school. As someone with ADHD, staying consistent with practice and organization can sometimes be a challenge, but my passion for music/piano has always been strong. I have studied with both a staff teacher and the owner, and both have been incredibly understanding, supportive, and willing to adapt lessons to meet my individual needs.

My son Jonah expressed interest in learning to play guitar when he was about 6 years old so we signed him up for a group class at The PPS. Jonah enjoyed that class so he continued to take private lessons on classical and electric guitar. Fast forward a decade and he is now 16 years old and a boarding student in the Popular Music program at Interlochen Arts Academy. All of Jonah's instructors at The PPS helped Jonah to grow tremendously as a musician year after year. He really enjoyed working with all of his instructors, most recently Allan W. and Kyleen D. I highly recommend The PPS to any family looking for top-notch music lessons in the area.

The curriculum and training are targeted toward long term growth. Another aspect I always appreciated is... read full review
