Music Lessons That Kids Love
In home, online & studio lessons in Sherwood Park
Have you ever heard this one? “Playing music is for the gifted. It requires natural musical talent, hard work, and determination. It’s either in your genes or it’s not.” After teaching kids for over 25 years, I’ve come to realize that this is far from the truth. At Classic Studios we believe that all kids can play music. If your child can clap and sing along with a song, they can play music. (Extra credit if they can chew gum at the same time.)
If you’re like most parents you might worry about the long term effects of your child living in the fast paced world of cyberspace and virtual reality. It seems like kids spend more time in the virtual world then the real world. Our hope for your child is that music can allow them to take a break, slow down and enjoy the beauty of music. But perhaps your child just wants to experience the mental and emotional benefits and joy that are unique to music. Nothing lights up a gathering or party like a group of kids playing music together.

Jan has been phenomenal with our son. He has an incredible method of teaching that has clearly been refined over time. I am overly impressed, and am confident that our son will achieve great things with Classic Studios. We had him in lessons at two other studios in Sherwood park prior to classic studios but the lessons were so dry and cookie cutter. I can tell Jan tailors the lesson in the moment to our sons needs, and as a result our son loves going. So grateful we found classic studios.Posted on Google![]()

I started taking piano lessons with Jan a few months ago, and he has reimagined how I play and practice. His creative and highly effective ways of instructing have inspired me and helped me become a much more well-rounded musician. I highly recommend Jan for anyone looking to improve their skills why enjoying the beauty of music. - Levi. R.Posted on Google![]()

Honestly, the best! We've been there 3 years, both with Mr. Jan and Kelsey and our daughter has grown so much in her music skills and appreciation. Kind, encouraging and kid friendly, they are the absolute best!Posted on Google![]()

I have been with Jan for 5 years, and nothing better could have come out from it. If Jan hadn't been the one teaching me, I don't know if I would still be doing piano. He just makes it so fun, and he has so many different ways to do things. Whenever one thing isn't working, he just finds another way. He knows so much about piano, he is so patient with me, and he is super funny. I'm really grateful to have him as my teacher. Thank you Jan!Posted on Google![]()

Kurt from Classic Studios is always prompt and professional for piano lessons. He is also very talented and a perfect fit for a more advanced student. My son finds him easy to talk to and finds that Kurt has a lot of musical knowledge with regards to composition, history and theory in addition to a professional level of playing ability. My son's advancement in grade levels has increased significantly since starting lessons with Kurt. Having him come to our house for lessons is a bonus.Posted on Google![]()

Eric has really helped my children grow musically. He is nice and gentle, but keeps things progressing forward. He is capable of teaching many instruments.
Classic studios has been amazing for our child. She has progressed greatly and has been provided with many opportunities throughout the years. She started as a beginner and in the last 3 years has now improved to platinum status at SP Music Festival under Jan’s teaching. She is now a more confident piano player thanks to Jan.

Having lessons in our home is a dream. I’ve been wanting them to try lessons for a while, but the thought of adding another thing to their schedule stressed me out. Having the lessons in our home is so enjoyable, and the kids don’t feel like they are always on the go. It’s such a joy to listen to them learning with Sam. I’m beyond pleased!

Jan is an incredibly gifted pianist with a crazy passion for instilling his love of music into his students! He really believes in his students and works with each unique personality at their level. We have two very different sons taking lessons and his way of inspiring both is entirely suited to the way encouragement would work for each personality.
