PLAY WITHOUT LIMITS
​
Whether you’re an adult or a school-age student,
here’s what Playing Without Limits means for you:
​
Learn music you enjoy. From pop to classical, TV/movie themes, Disney, worship, oldies, etc.
Learn at your own pace. Dana is known for helping students excel musically, challenging them to reach higher levels quickly and more easily than they imagined, never holding them back when they want to challenge themselves. Dana also appreciates when students need more repetition to grasp new concepts and quickly adjusts the pace to fit their learning style and abilities.
​
Achieve your dreams. Always wanted to learn but never had the chance before? Want a refresher to help you reach a higher level of playing? Want to play for the church worship team? What about a wedding or other performance? Dana can help you with it all!
Nail that audition! Want to attend SCAPA (School for Creative and Performing Arts)? How about playing for your school jazz band or accompanying the chorus or school musicals? Or play in your church youth praise band? Dana’s students excel in performance. She has an excellent record for getting students into SCAPA, and her students are encouraged to perform in and accompany school/church bands and musicals. Dana’s motto: Why only practice and never play in the game?!
KIDS
A Modern Way to Learn Piano (That Kids Actually Love)
Introducing Piano Express, our innovative program that blends expert instruction with the power of technology. Beginners use a fun, interactive app to guide their practice at home, providing a clear path to success and turning learning into an activity they look forward to.
Here’s why it’s so effective:
​
-
Fosters Independence: The app provides instant feedback, teaching students how to listen critically and assess their own progress—a valuable skill that builds confidence far beyond the lesson room.
-
Accelerates Learning: We see the results every day. Students in our Piano Express program typically progress through their beginner material 25% to 50% faster, keeping them challenged and engaged.
-
Solves the Practice Problem: This engaging, game-like structure provides clear goals and motivation at home, transforming the age-old "time to practice" discussion into a fun, rewarding activity.
The confidence gained through this program prepares students for the joy of performing. Throughout the year, they'll have the chance to share their talents at recitals or through community service performances at local senior centers and other venues.
TEENS
More Than Lessons: A Launchpad for Teen Musicians
We know that teens thrive on independence and achievement. That's why our program empowers them to take ownership of their musical journey. They'll learn the music they're passionate about—from pop hits to powerful worship songs—using mature methods that get them playing impressive music, sooner.
Through a mix of clear goals, friendly competitions, and rewards for consistency, we keep teens engaged and focused. They don't just learn songs; they learn the value of practice and the thrill of mastering a new skill.
The goal is to build confident, well-rounded musicians. Dana provides the tools and mentorship teens need to successfully audition for groups like the SCAPA jazz band, lead in their youth worship team, or use their talents for performance and ministry. We help them turn their passion into purpose.
