Elite Music Education

Award-Winning Curriculum

OCP Curriculum

The research is clear: learning to play the piano develops the child’s brain. In fact, brain scans show a significant increase in the size, activity & function of brain structures in children that enrolled in quality music lessons.  

Our master educators offer an individualized, student-centered path to learning. Our lesson plans, worksheets & competency checks are designed to improve the students’ memory, speed & learning capacity.
