Many of our customers need help deciding between a digital or acoustic piano purchase.  To help, we offer the following ten reasons why a digital piano could be the best choice for your family:

1. Sound/Tone – Digital sound sampling revolutionized the piano industry. You can pick or customize the piano sound to please even the most discerning ear. Elements of the tone can be varied to suit the individual. No need to play on an old, worn-out piano.
2. Feel and Touch – The action in a quality (Roland and Yamaha) digital piano has been refined so that responsiveness, expressiveness and touch sensitivity give great satisfaction to the player. Features like ‘Ivory Feel’, escapement, and re-triggering are available on certain models. And yes you can compete and do very well on exams.
3. Perfectly in Tune - No need to tune a piano ever again – save your money! Place your piano where you want it:  outside wall, near a fire place, the basement, in a bay window, over the register or wherever it has space and most enhances the look of your room. Will work perfectly at your cottage.
4. Easy to Move – Light in weight means two healthy people can lift and move. No need to hire specialized movers. Friends will actually volunteer to help!
5. Volume Control - You control who hears what and how far away.
6. Headphone Capability – Watch the game or cooking show while the kids play in the same room. Hear them when you want to.  Play in the evening without waking the kids or disturbing the neighbours.

Hello everyone!

The purpose of this blog will be to talk about the philosophy of The Piano Studio; why our unique teaching methods and styles have been successful throughout the life of our business; the history of our retail store and music school; to discuss questions you may have about your/your child’s music lessons.

Let me begin by giving you some information about myself, the founder of The Piano Studio.  I grew up on a farm in southern Manitoba, the eldest of seven children.  We were not a wealthy family; however there was always food on the table, laughter all around most days, and music going on somewhere!  I had a passion to learn to play the piano from a very young age, so I convinced my schoolteacher to give me lessons…my grandparents very graciously gave me their piano…I was a very happy five year old!

My passion to make music has always been a part of me and that is why our philosophy at The Piano Studio begins with the belief that all of us are created with the ability and the need to make music.  Our desire is to inspire a new generation of music makers; to encourage all to discover their musical talents at any age; to make music for life.  Our aim is to provide the best music education facility in York Region; lessons which are fun, engaging and motivating; excellent quality instruments in our classrooms and showroom for our customers; our hope is to give service beyond your expectations.  Let the music begin!
