Meet the Piano Teacher: Eric Campbell

Your Piano Teacher's Early Years My personal music history began at home and at church.  At home my dad played all kinds of music on LP’s and 8 tracks (remember those?) on our home stereo.  We actually sat there and listened to it, whether blasting the Redcoat Marching Band album before a Georgia game, or celebrating Christmas playing Handel’s Messiah.  And I heard the most beautiful music at my church growing up… First Baptist of Decatur.  The church had graded children’s choirs, a 75-voice touring [...]

We are honored to share Carol Grady’s story here about her loving husband and magical piano. “I finished practicing and walked over to my husband, my eyes welling up with tears.  ‘I can’t believe I can put [...]

“Nobody has ever told me they were happy they quit” ….. 

Hardly a day goes by that someone doesn’t walk through our doors and tell me they were sorry they quit taking piano lessons.  “Just imagine what I could be playing now” as they look wistfully at the pianos. Regardless the specific details the answers to why they quit are all generally the same, too.  “I thought playing the piano was for sissies,” “I wanted to be outside playing sports,” or “My piano teacher was mean.” (which almost always meant the teacher only expected them to [...]

Give the Gift You Can’t Wait to Give

I love my wife. That's why when asked I'll watch a "chick flick" with her. Last weekend we watched Little Women, based on the 1868 novel by Louisa May Alcott. Have you seen the scene where Laurie's grandfather, Mr. Laurence, charmed by Beth (facing terminal illness), gives her the piano used by Laurie's late sister? It is such a touching moment, literally making me think, what could be a greater gift to give a pianist, than a new piano? One of our most recent customers, a [...]
