Learn Anywhere—Online or In Person
Whether you prefer cozy in-studio lessons or want to learn from your apartment in pajamas, you’ve got options. Piano Forte Music School continues to offer both live online piano lessons on Zoom and FaceTime and in-person instruction at our Redwood City location. Students who learn online benefit from greater flexibility, improved accessibility and fewer missed piano lessons.
Whatever option you choose, we are here to help you level up your music education. That’s why we are adding to our curriculum and increasing our performance opportunities.
New Piano Lessons for Neurodivergent and Special Needs Students
One of the most exciting parts of the expansion is a new program designed for students with learning differences, including those on the autism spectrum.
Piano lessons for special needs students can help improve focus and motor skills, emotional expression and social and communication abilities.
“Our goal is to make music accessible to everyone,” says Dvorkin. “We work with families to create a supportive, customized experience.”
More Chances to Perform (Without the Pressure)
While live performance may seem intimidating at first, music recitals are one of the most empowering and rewarding aspects of learning music.
Piano Forte guides students through:
- Preparation for live recitals, festivals & exams
- Building stage presence step by step
- Gaining real confidence beyond the keyboard
Live performances are not about perfection, but about how students progress.
