Playing piano is joyful, enriching and fulfilling and learning to play brings a sense of accomplishment in one’s life.

Lessons are taught in the tradition of the Russian school of music based primarily on a classical repertoire--a detailed approach to piano technique and a strong foundation in music theory. Piano is the universal instrument simply because concepts of music theory are taught on the piano

In order to master reading and writing. one must know rules of the language, i.e. literacy, grammar, orthography, linguistics. Like literature, there’s a way to read music in relation to composer and style, texture and genre, harmony and form, main thought and contents.

...Because of the multifaceted nature of the art of music in connection to the many elements of musical language and composition, music education is divided into several subjects, i.e. harmony, counterpoint, form and analysis, musical history, and musical literature. Thus, music theory (which in a broader sense means all aspects of the art but performing) is the foundation of music education.

Without such knowledge, perception of music is impoverished - notes remain impersonal or meaningless. Behind each chord or any combination of tones, there are images and colors. A knowledge of musical theory will have a significant impact on performing – making it less challenging and more fun! Things will start to “make sense.” You’ll “hear” things on a new level you hadn’t heard before.
