After 15 years of teaching children within elementary schools, 23 years of teaching piano, and being a mom of 4 boys, I’ve learned the best way to motivate them:
Children thrive when they feel like they’re seen, celebrated, and encouraged.
Most students quit learning music not because they find the material too hard—it’s because they don’t feel supported enough.
That’s why MV Studio is dedicated to uplifting children to be the best versions of themselves, one lesson at a time.
Hi, I'm Maria!
LANGLEY PIANO TEACHER SERVING WALNUT GROVE, WILLOWBROOK, AND WILLOUGHBY
No matter which setting, group and private piano lessons should cultivate a love for learning—not drive your child away from it.
More about Maria
Cancellations should be made at least 24 hours in advance to ensure a make-up class can be arranged. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice will still count as a lesson, unless there is a valid reason. If the teacher needs to cancel, a rescheduled lesson will be offered at the next available time.
What’s your policy on cancellations or missed lessons?
Maria (owner and lead instructor) will be teaching your child!
Who will teach my child?
Yes, I (Maria) will select the necessary books for the piano lessons, and parents are responsible for purchasing these books from a music store (e.g., Long & McQuade) and bringing them to the first class.
Will you purchase music books for my child?
Lessons are held once a week, but if the parent or child prefers more frequent sessions, such as twice a week, that can easily be arranged. For beginners, lessons are typically 30 minutes, but if more time is needed to cover additional material, we can extend them to 45 or 60 minutes, depending on the child's grade level. Lesson durations can be adjusted to fit the child's needs and the parents' expectations.
How often are lessons, and how long are they?
MV Music Studio hosts two recitals each year, one in June and one in January, where all students have the opportunity to perform.
Do you have recitals?
No problem at all! I specialize in beginners and will start with the basics, ensuring your child feels comfortable and confident. Lessons will be fun and tailored to their pace, helping them build skills step by step.
What if my child has never done music before?
Yes, we encourage my students to take the RCM (Royal Conservatory of Music) exams. Additionally, we like to have students participate in music festivals and competitions to help them set goals and gain experience playing for an audience. These events also provide valuable feedback from adjudicators, which helps prepare them for exams. We plan these festivals and competitions in advance to ensure they align with their exam schedules.
Do you prepare students for exams/competitions?
If your child would benefit from more personalized attention and a focused learning environment, private lessons are the best choice. However, if your child is comfortable in a group setting, they can join a 1-hour group lesson, where they can learn from other students.
Group lessons also make it convenient for parents with multiple children, as siblings can be enrolled in the same class, making drop-off easier! By grade level 4, it's generally recommended to switch to private lessons for more advanced instruction.
Should I enroll my child in private piano lessons or group lessons?
