Their
musical adventure
starts here
At HeartStrings School of Music, we believe music should be a joyful, creative, and confidence-building journey. Never rigid or intimidating.
Our students don’t just learn notes. They develop a lifelong love for music in a fun and supportive environment that celebrates progress over perfection.
Fun-First Philosophy: Experience music without pressure or competition — just pure, joyful learning in a supportive environment.
Dynamic, Interactive Lessons: Through games, movement, and creative activities, we transform music education into an adventure that captivates young minds.
Celebrating Every Step: We honor each student's unique journey, recognizing that genuine progress comes through personalized milestones, not rigid expectations.
More Than Music… A Community: HeartStrings isn't just a music school — it's where children develop confidence, forge friendships, and discover their creative voices.
If you dream of your child embracing music, feeling accomplished in their growth, and learning in a nurturing, encouraging space— HeartStrings welcomes you!
Where Joy Meets Music
Our daughter has developed a love and passion for learning about music and playing piano. I can see the confidence it gives her when she tackles a new song, and how excited she is when it’s time to go to her lesson with Miss Lila. Fantastic teacher who is very passionate about teaching music!
Katrina G., Piano Parent
We are very impressed with the overall experience!
Our son is learning that practice and perseverance will propel him towards his goals in such a profoundly concrete way, and he uses that knowledge to improve daily. These lessons have brought such a positive dimension to our lives, we highly recommend Miss Lila!

It’s one of the best decisions
we’ve made for our kids
Miss Lila provides a calm, supportive, and encouraging space for my child to learn and thrive. I’ll always remember the time my child got stuck during a performance, but with Lila’s calmness and encouragement, she was able to continue the piece and be proud of herself.
Shereen K., Piano Parent
My daughter’s skill and confidence
have grown tremendously
The positive changes I’ve noticed in my daughter since starting piano lessons include her self-confidence and a much deeper enjoyment of music. The personalized instruction, care and respect for my daughter’s process, and seemingly unending patience and infusion of fun make us feel so lucky to have found Miss Lila and highly recommend her!!!
Maxine D., Piano Parent
The best music teacher we have
ever had the honor of working with
Our daughter is very excited for her performances and really proud of herself for getting up in front of people and playing a piece she practiced. We love seeing our girls just sit down and spontaneously play something at the piano. And ultimately, they enjoy playing. My girls love Miss Lila - they think she is very nice and patient and she encouraged them in a kind manner.
Suzanne C., Piano Parent
Miss Lila is awesome!
Our girls love piano lessons!
Though, my students know me as Miss Lila. I’m the Director of HeartStrings School of Music.
I’ve been teaching private piano and violin lessons for over twenty years, and for much of that time, I’ve dreamed of creating a space where students could learn, play, and grow together. This year, that dream became a reality. We officially opened HeartStrings School of Music—a place where kids, teens, and adults can discover the joy of music in a warm, supportive community.
As a music teacher, I’ve learned one key lesson that is at the heart of my approach: music education should be fun. At HeartStrings, we combine movement, ear training, rhythm games, and more for a full multi-sensory learning experience. We celebrate every milestone no matter how big or small and always take a fun-first approach to learning music so that kids not only learn but also have a blast!
