Piano is the Foundation
Piano is the basis of all music — which is why every music school in the country requires music students to become competent on piano. Music is an important key to a grounded body, mind, and a balanced life. From 3 years old to 103, piano is the gateway to all music and all musical instruments.
Professor Holvick makes the study of piano an alluring adventure into a fascinating world where other teachers do not go. Students find themselves quickly playing music they would never imagine they would be capable of playing — whether reading from the page or improvising on a melody they composed themselves.
The Holvick Method of Piano
Professor Holvick took decades to develop a superior and unique method of teaching piano that is effective in efficiently providing students a thorough musical education. With this direct and user-friendly approach, students can more quickly play the kind of music they like because they understand music and are able to see how it is constructed.
Professor Holvick also teaches her students how to practice in a positive way so the time at the piano is anticipated because it is entertaining and gratifying. Many pupils record their lessons to facilitate their practicing at home.
