The Piano Cottage is headquartered at 2010 Boston SE in Grand Rapids, MI. 

Teachers have to accommodate for both time and travel expenses. Travel time takes away availability for other students. Note: In-home lessons are not available for all instruments.

Absolutely! We have several adults who study music with us. Adults can learn music through our school and even get performance and recital opportunities.

Each student is guaranteed 33 lessons between September and May. Holidays, makeup days, and longer and shorter months are factored in, so your tuition remains the same from month to month.

Each student is guaranteed 11 lessons between June and August.
