We are different from other music studios! Our founder, Rick Cinquemani, has based our philosophy on how his mentors helped him overcome himself. At Five Hands Studio, we assume that most children will find the prospect of taking music lessons to be a fun idea. But we also realize that, after the initial excitement, they soon discover that music lessons are just like homework! What is unique about our studio is that we expect this to happen as part of a natural process. After all, any child knows that it's much easier to get entertained by turning on the TV than it is to work on something. We use music lessons to illustrate the value and joy of working toward a goal. As parents, we realize that the happiest people are those who really enjoy their work - people who have managed to successfully combine their life's work with doing something that they love to do. We also know that, on the road to getting what we want, we must be willing to do things that we don't feel like doing. At our studio, students learn that work can be a fun game. We use music lessons to teach children that they can get what they really want with a joyful approach. The trick is to learn how to follow what they know is best for themselves. ( After all, discipline is derived from the word disciple - which means follower. )

Big Bang for the Buck!

We have been searching for piano lessons for our kids over the last year. This place was perfect for us. It's in a neighborhood atmosphere. It's very peaceful. The curriculum is as serious as we want it to be. It was explained to us that the easiest way to take piano lessons is to make sure theory and scales/chords etc. are an integral part of the process.######At first impression, that seemed a little "heavy" for us, but over time we have to agree that our kids have shown a steady interest and there has been nothing assigned to them that was too hard for them to do. I hear them getting better and, most notably, achieving some sense of personal discipline. They have very nice recitals and I like the teachers.######What we like is that the atmosphere is laid back, yet the curriculum seems quite comprehensive. I took piano as a kid and I sure wish I'd have had this situation. There's a great mix of classical, jazz or pop available.###I may take some lessons myself!
