The #1 thing parents tell us...

"I wish I hadn't quit piano lessons!"

Nice to meet you!

We're Kate Spies and Rebecca Bacich, sisters from Manhattan Beach, CA.

Growing up, we loved our piano lessons. But, there was one thing that left us feeling frustrated... practicing! Sitting at the piano and struggling to get past a few measures of music often left us discouraged.

​

When talking with parents, this is the main reason they quit lessons themselves. "I hated practicing!" "I just wanted to play the music that I liked!" "I wish that learning piano had been more fun!"

 

That's why we created... 

Our piano lab program turns practice into play, making learning enjoyable and helping kids thrive at the piano without the stress!

Our Students...
