Help your child discover the joy of making music
Imagine your child recognizing a favorite melody in the notes they just played—and wanting to try it again. Those little “I can do it!” moments are what we build on, one song and one new skill at a time.
Hi, I’m Mr. Zach. I help children learn through music they enjoy, patient encouragement, and a clear next step that fits their pace. Our online programs bring that personal guidance into your home, through small live classes or flexible lessons with individual video feedback.
Take a look around together. Discover the instruments, see how the learning works, and picture where your child’s curiosity could lead.

Which instrument feels most like your child?
Every child brings a different mix of interests, energy, coordination, and musical imagination. These quick snapshots can help you notice the best first fit, and I’m happy to help if the answer is not obvious yet.
Kids Piano
The broadest musical foundation. Play melody and harmony together, explore a large favorite-song library, and see patterns clearly on the keyboard.
Kids Violin
Expressive, active, and ear-building. A strong fit for children drawn to singing melodies, orchestral sound, careful listening, and bowing.
Kids Cello
Warm, rich sound with a grounded feel. Learn seated while developing bow control, listening, beautiful tone, and expressive melody.
Kids Guitar
Riffs, melodies, rhythm, and chords. A natural choice for children who picture themselves playing favorite songs or accompanying singers.
Kids Ukulele
Light, friendly, and quick to pick up. Four strings, a compact instrument, and approachable chords create cheerful early wins.
Not sure yet? You do not have to choose alone.
Hi, I’m Mr. Zach. Tell me a little about your child’s age, interests, experience, goals, and schedule. I’ll personally help you compare the instruments and recommend a comfortable first step, with no obligation to enroll.

The patented Exact Notes difference
A clearer way to read music—across five instruments
Young beginners often coordinate their hands, find notes, count rhythm, and decode unfamiliar symbols all at once.
Exact Notes™ places practical visual guidance directly on the music. Children can reach recognizable songs sooner, practice with more confidence, and carry familiar learning logic from one instrument to another.
That common language gives your family room to explore. A child can begin with the instrument they love now and still have a friendly bridge to another instrument later.
A format for real family life
A clear path between classes—and personal guidance at every step
Your child always has something useful and achievable to work on next. I watch how each student is progressing, celebrate what is clicking, and adjust the path when they need a challenge, a new explanation, or more time.
“We loved how our daughter got time with other kids to practice too, which makes it more social and enjoyable.”
— Fawn Astra Rost, parent
Hybrid Learning
Your child follows guided videos and printable music on your schedule, then sends me a video each week or after completing a new song. I respond with personal feedback and a clear next step.
Weekly Live Classes
Your child meets with me in a lively, interactive 30-minute class of five students or fewer for instruction, encouragement, accountability, and the fun of learning alongside other kids.
A Personalized Path
I meet students where they are. Fast-moving children can keep stretching, while children who need repetition receive it without pressure. We build confidence by making each new step feel ready.
Little musicians, real music
Hear the joy in their own playing
Meet two young piano students and enjoy a moment from their musical journeys. Every child develops at their own pace, with plenty of small discoveries worth celebrating along the way.
Krishna plays Jingle Bells
A familiar tune brought to life at the piano. 1 minute, 15 seconds.
Jacob’s first recital
Enjoy his performance of Twinkle Twinkle. 46 seconds.
One musical home, many possible paths
Let music grow naturally with your family
You can begin with one child and one instrument, give siblings their own musical voices, or let one enthusiastic student explore more than one role. I’ll help you choose a starting point that feels manageable now and leaves room to grow.
Meet Pierre and Alexandre—brothers who started at piano camp and continued learning together.
The music can keep going after class
“All 3 of my girls loved it and we continued playing for another half hour after it was over!”
— Dawn Witman, parent
One child, one instrument
Start with the sound that lights your child up, then build a steady weekly or flexible learning rhythm around their interests and pace.
Siblings, different instruments
One child can learn piano while another chooses violin, guitar, cello, or ukulele—all with the same familiar notation and personal teaching approach.
One child, more than one musical role
Combine piano with strings, guitar, or ukulele so an eager young musician can explore melody, harmony, accompaniment, and ensemble thinking.
