Teaching Philosophy

Eppert Piano Studio Teaching Philosophy

Eppert Piano Studio’s teaching philosophy is simple… No talent required. The joy of music is for everyone!

Our philosophy of teaching is for all, not just the ‘talented’ few, has stood the test of time. Every person has within them the ability to play a musical instrument and play it well enough to receive enjoyment and fulfillment with the experience. Our studio’s job is to bring out each person’s innate abilities, while making piano fun.

Our approach is creative, personalized and immersive!

We work with every student on playing their music with expression. This gives the student a positive way to express emotions. Think about how much fun it is to play a loud, fast part of the piece and then contrast it with the quiet, gentler part of the piece. Playing piano allows the student’s soul and feelings to be expressed in a positive manner!

What Sets Eppert Piano Studio Apart From The Rest?

LONGEVITY. EXPERTISE. EDUCATION.

Eppert Piano Studio has over 35 years of teaching small groups and private piano lessons in the Fishers and Carmel Indiana area. Along with two college degrees in piano and a natural ability to connect with students of all ages, we are the go-to piano studio for area Hamilton County families.

Both Sally & Rachel have had the privilege of seeing many of their students stay with piano lessons from kindergarten through senior year of high school. Many have gone on to major in music as well during their collegiate years. Seeing children progress through the years makes teaching rewarding and fun!

Eppert Piano Studio strongly believes in presenting a balanced repertoire, by including progressive technique, music theory and performance opportunities.

My daughter loves it!

My daughter is finishing up her third year with Sally and she absolutely love it! Piano lessons with Sally is definitely her favorite after-school activity. Sally is always quick to praise regardless of skill level and she makes sure there are plenty of opportunities for recitals and competitions, if that’s what your child enjoys.

We love her!

Our two daughters take piano lessons from Sally and we love her! Our 9 year old has taken piano lessons for a year now and our 15 year old has been taking lessons for about 9 months. Sally is so patient and wonderful with them both. The 9 year old enjoys the group lessons while the 15 year old privately learns from Sally.
