pianists for a lifetime

The Diaz School of Piano is unique in comparison to traditional piano instruction.  Students are equipped with the ability to read and play traditional classical music as well as contemporary, blues, and pop styles.  Through a pattern-based approach, students will grow in their ability to improvise, arrange, and compose pieces in new and original ways.  All of this is achieved in a social setting, where students take classes together and get to share their growth, challenges, and successes with one another.  This fun and encouraging environment gives students motivation to learn piano Heskills that they can take from the studio to share with their community.
