I have been taking piano lessons at The Music Lessons Studio for several years now and Paul is great! His instruction is top notch, both patient and insightful, and his selection of music is fun while covering all major styles. If you want to learn to play piano, you've got to take lessons here!

Paul Burd is one of the most professional piano instructors we have ever met. My daughter graduated to his level a little over a year ago(end of 2023), and we couldn’t be happier with his detailed teaching and dedication. The piano lessons are 1 full hour on Zoom and my daughter is very pleased with his attention to her strong and weak points and helps her to adjust accordingly with his tips and techniques. He has quite an ear for the piano, is always on time, gives extra time, and always motivates my daughter to do more. If you are looking for a piano teacher who knows his subject matter, we can highly recommend Paul Burd.

How playing an instrument
Benefits your brain

Music lessons provide a wide range of benefits.
Music grows new connections in the brain. Because of the way our two hands are used, playing the piano develops these connections better than any other instrument. Piano study improves math skills, coordination, and multi-level thinking. Students slowly develop independence of the hands and the ability for each hand to perform a completely different action in coordinated unison.
​
Piano lessons provide a wide range of benefits. They help preserve and develop natural creative abilities. Studies show music lessons help develop concentration, coordination and self-discipline. Music lessons improve test scores, cognitive development, math and reading abilities, self-esteem, and school attendance.
