Experience for yourself the joy of playing and creating music!

Every child and adult deserves an individual approach to piano instruction. Most people just want to learn to play the music they love, a few want to become concert pianists. Have you become discouraged in learning to play piano or creating your own music? 

Sunrise Music Piano curriculum and Sunshine Piano Studio music lessons have been developed to help you to realize your dreams, whether you are an individual or a teacher.

Sunrise Music - A Better Way To Learn Piano

Great composers of the past learned improvisation and composition as part of mastering the piano. These skills have been lost through time in modern piano education, but the Sunrise Music Piano Curriculum strongly embraces these desirable and fun skills. You’ll learn all the technical stuff along the way too, but more importantly, you’ll have the ability to create, improvise, arrange, and produce the music that YOU will love to solo or play with other musicians!
