Breese, Illinois

Meredith Schulte Piano Studio offers beginner and intermediate piano instruction to children of all ages. My lessons provide value to families. My musical education is affordable, professional, timely, and, mostly importantly, customized to each child, their learning abilities and their passion for growth. Parents can expect excellent communication, timely scheduling, reliability and focused, goal-driven education. Students can expect a passionate and knowledgeable instructor driven to help them achieve their goals. Expect instruction in all facets of piano: musical concepts, theory, technique, artistry and performance. I have played piano for over 30 years, and I have taught piano for over 20 years. Operating my studio out of my home has allowed me precious time with my young children as a “work-at-home” mom.
