Musically Yours Piano Studio

Mrs. Scowden is seriously amazing! I came to her with zero piano experience, and just a basic understanding of how to read sheet music, and within a few lessons I felt SO comfortable with the instrument! She really understood my individual learning style, and how to grow through the lessons with me. She taught at my pace, let me make mistakes, etc., without being too lenient or too militant. She’s very patient but pushes her students to their fullest potential. She fosters an environment that encourages unlimited, but attainable growth. She worked with my music tastes and preferences, while also guiding me in the direction of foundational classical pieces for learning necessary techniques. Even after not taking lessons for some time now as I transitioned into college, I can remember the muscle memory techniques she taught me from emphasis on music theory and daily practice. The lessons taught are fun and encourage personal, musical development, but still cover the required, fundamental components required of any piano player.

When I compared lesson prices with those around me, I also realized her prices were so fair for all the effort she pours into her students’ continued success!

Neville, her feline assistant, is a well added bonus for those looking for a piano bench buddy :)

I couldn’t recommend Musically Yours more to anyone looking to pick up the piano!

Musically Yours is a great experience for anyone interested in learning the piano. I received lessons for 1 1/2 years in high school and I grasped the basics of piano while also having a lot of fun learning. Alissa is a wonderful teacher and let’s you learn at your own pace, but also mindful of life’s other responsibilities. I highly recommended Musically Yours to everyone wanting to learn and be creative.

I can't say enough good things about Alissa and her role as our daughter's piano teacher. We started lessons with Alissa many years ago when she was just starting her private practice. Even then, she impressed the heck out of us. She was organized both in her lessons and her communications, but also used great teaching strategies and offered fun rewards and ways for her students to feel involved not only in their individual lessons, but with her community of students. Her skills have only grown throughout the years. She has an enormous amount of patience and even if our daughter stresses over not having practiced as she knows she should have, she always leaves her lesson encouraged and motivated to start again. Alissa has a way of exciting and encouraging our daughter and we are so happy not only for the piano skills she has acquired over the years, but that she has another strong female role model in Alissa. Our daughter loves Alissa and can't wait to see her at lessons! We are so pleased with Alissa and would highly recommend her for anyone seeking piano lessons!

I have 2 daughters who took piano lessons from Ms. Alissa for several years and absolutely LOVED her! Alissa does a great job assessing her students to see where they need to start out. She had each daughter work with several workbooks that were appropriate for their age and stage of learning with piano. Her expectations of practice each week were reasonable. The girls looked forward to seeing her each week. She also did a great job recognizing their accomplishments and held recitals that were wonderful! Not only is Alissa a great music teacher, but a kind, caring person in general. I would highly recommend Alissa as a piano teacher for people of all ages!

I cannot begin to explain how crazy amazing the woman who runs this thing is. I took piano lessons with Alissa from 2014 to 2018 when I was in high school. I had always wanted to learn and was so happy I found her. I was super nervous and shy, but she made me feel at home and absolutely made my day with every lesson. Not only is she talented at piano, but she’s also a great teacher. The lessons and tips she’s taught me have stuck with me for years and I’m still able to enjoy playing piano because of her. I’m the type of person who will quit something I’m not immediately good at, so it says a lot that I was with her for 4 years before going to college. She’s personable, caring, patient, and all the other great things you’d want in a piano teacher.

I could seriously go on and on. But this private piano studio is the best you’ll find anywhere.
