"A great teacher that makes the experience fun for them"
Our teacher has been great and really made my daughter even more enthusiastic about learning the piano than she already had been. I would recommend these lessons to anyone who wants their child to have a great teacher that makes the experience fun for them. - Rose C.

"GREAT job connecting with our daughter..."
My teacher does a GREAT job connecting with our daughter and helping her both play the piano and sing. We love that she's teaching her the technical aspects (notation) as well as playing by ear. Thank you, Shining Star! By Elliana
These stories aren't rare here at Shining Star, this is our normal.
Our teaching philosophy is to seek out the spark of joy that each student has, and dig into that as much as we can.

Instrument & a great attitude!
Online lessons are simple and effective if taught by an experienced teacher!
Music is the MOST DYNAMIC language we know of - so why do we think our kids will master it with and be motivated by only one, 30 minute lesson per week with their teacher?
In music college, we take classes in conducting, ear training, composition, learning about specific composers and periods of music, producing and more.
Well, Shining Star Music Academy is disrupting the music lesson arena by incorporating all of these topics AND MORE into our online music lesson program - all for the same price as a normal 1:1 lesson!
But What About...
Will there be classes to fit my availability?
Yes! We schedule classes during the day 7 days a week. There should be classes that work for everyone’s schedule.
Do Online Lessons Really Work?
Yes! With some students in our school taking online lessons with us for more than 5 consecutive years, we know it works!
It just takes a tailored skillset and approach by the teacher.
Students who learn online develop their ears faster, in our experience, which is crucial for being a successful musician.
I'm nervous to commit...
We make it SO easy. We know our program is the best, so we don't request long commitments.
All we ask for is a 30 day notice to stop or pause lessons if life gets too busy.
This begins after you've met your teacher and love them!
Our next online program begins January 5th - come join us! Registering NOW
Online group class schedules and 1-1 schedules are being announced on December 30th.
So register now to be a part of this ground-breaking music program, and get your child loving music and expressing themselves!
