Kids love to explore. Our entire piano lesson program is built around learning music as if it were a game. Kids love it!
Looking for a piano instructor in Virginia Beach, VA? Our studio combines traditional teaching with cutting edge technology to provide students with a one-of-a-kind experience. We are able to teach more concepts in less time, all while remaining fun and avoiding the stress and boredom that come with traditional piano lessons. Our students learn music, but they feel like they are playing a game. It’s exciting, it’s challenging, and it works! With this approach, we find that students stick with it longer, improve significantly faster, and practice more than they otherwise would.
Throughout your child’s piano lesson journey, we will provide regular performance opportunities. Fox Music’s Piano Academy offers recitals to give students a chance to showcase their progress for family and friends. When students succeed while having fun, we also find that students build their confidence and self-esteem. Students begin to recognize that they can do hard things, and that accomplishing difficult tasks can be both enjoyable and rewarding. This carries over into other areas of their lives, providing a truly life-changing experience.
Our piano teachers have extensive backgrounds in music, many years of teaching experience, and are constantly striving to make a difference in each of their student’s lives. We work with students as young as seven years old. Students who start piano at a young age reap many benefits, including counting and math skill improvement, reading comprehension, creativity, time management, new language skills, hand-eye coordination, and more. And don’t forget that piano lessons for kids will build a foundation for them to love music for the rest of their lives!
Your child will receive a holistic and fundamentally sound piano education. They will learn proper technique, music reading skills, ear training, memorization, musical interpretation, music theory, and more. Technique includes correct hand position, good posture, and the art of playing without tension in the hands or arms. This allows students to play with speed, accuracy, and a beautiful tone. Note reading is also at the core of our teaching practices - especially for beginners. Students learn to read music in both clefs, they learn to sight read passages with the right and left hands, and they gain competency in identifying sharps and flats. Students also learn rhythmic values, how to count, and how to keep a steady beat. We also train our students how to sight read and teach themselves new pieces of music. On the other hand, we value ear training and improvisation. Students identify intervals by hearing them, and learn to pick out melodies and accompaniments without a written score. Music theory comes into play as well. We believe in the value of understanding the fundamental building blocks of music - key and time signatures, chord inversions, major and minor, modes, and other principles are important. From
crescendos and
diminuendos to the art of playing
staccato and
slurred notes, we help our students gain a well-rounded understanding of the piano.
*Piano lessons are offered for students ages 7 and older.

Adult Students
It is never too late to start! Some adults don’t get started until much later in life, and that’s okay! Maybe you’ve never had time to pursue piano, and now that you do, you’re a little nervous. No need to worry. Some piano students take lessons as a casual hobby, and others are much more serious. Regardless of what your goals are for your piano lessons, your piano teacher at Fox Music will cater the lessons to meet your expectations. We recognize that our students are busy outside of class, so we promise you won’t get in trouble for not practicing between lessons! No matter what your goals are, we are here to help.
Foundational Learning
Studies have shown that taking piano lessons increases the ability to learn in many other disciplines – including other instruments! Piano is the basis for almost all musical instruments. It is the ‘go to’ beginner instrument for establishing a solid musical foundation, making it significantly easier to learn other instruments in the future. When in doubt about which instrument to begin with, piano is the best choice.
Teachers
Our piano teachers’ goal is to train a complete musician who can read music and understand music theory. Learning to read music will eventually allow students to break down complex rhythms, figure out the best finger patterns, ensure they are playing the correct notes, and overcome progress plateaus. Our teachers have extensive backgrounds in music, many years of teaching experience, and are constantly striving to make a difference in each of their student’s lives.
