Sharpens the Intellect

Piano practice also boosts cognitive and intellectual abilities, which is to say it makes you smarter and activates similar parts of the brain used in spatial reasoning and math.

Studying piano has also been shown to amazingly improve memory — particularly verbal memory — and build good habits like focus and perseverance, diligence and creativity.

Children who had a few years of piano study under their belts could remember twenty percent more vocabulary words than their peers.

And childhood musicians are better equipped later in life to retain information from speeches and lectures.

Playing piano has been shown to increase spatial-temporal ability, which figures heavily in math, science and engineering.

Regular music practice at an early age can even make structural changes to the brain that stay with you for the rest of your life, making your brain more efficient both while playing and in extra-musical endeavors.

I Want It ALL! Full Program

You Get it All!

With this option you get our entire Piano Program with optional Administrator/Teacher Add-on. It’s a Win-Win-Win!

The Full Partnering Program includes:

  1. Full Administrative Support for your Head of School for how to set everything up, ideas of how to structure your billing so that the students’ tuition increase of $12- 20 per month will pay for the program, monthly meetings and training with your facilitator. 
  2. Our OnDemand Course for all students to train at home and at school. We have three different option of courses to meet every age group from K4 – high school. 
  3. Our Partnering Parent Program to train and interact with your parents, providing structure and support.
  4. Our Partnering Teacher Program, to train and interact with your classroom teachers, so they can support your students with practice time at school.
  5. With an ADD- ON Perfect Praise Administrator/Teacher Option, we will even operate your entire piano program virtually.  It works! We are currently doing the Full Partnering Program with ADD-ON Admin/Teacher for several schools and are loving the outcome. Students are learning to play the piano with excellence, academics are accelerating, and we are having a blast. Our teacher, our songs, our teaching concepts, and all other non-traditional resources are included in this plan.

How it Works Without the Administrator/Teacher Add-on… 

  • We will give one-on-one guidance and options on how to set up your piano classroom, follow up with your parents with a Parent Orientation trumpeting why you are doing the piano program and the benefits provided the student’s academics. 
  • You would provide a piano facilitator to operate your piano classes, by either teaching the actual lessons with our lesson plans, or by showing our videos for your classes. Complete structure for practice assignments are laid out for the teacher and the parents to keep it simple. We would work to train your facilitator with monthly meetings as long as needed. 
  • We will provide training for your parents at a start of school Partnering Parent Orientation.
  • We will Train your Facilitator on how to track proficiency of each student, and follow up with their parents, making certain that they are learning correctly, or you could add this option to our teachers via our Upload Portal. 
  • OnDemand Courses: Every student would have a home-based lesson structure by logging into our website, so they can work their individualized lessons at home. 
  • If you’d like to bring practice time into your school’s classrooms, we would meet with your classroom teachers for our Partnering Teacher Support with Zoom Orientation
  • If you’d like to showcase what the students are learning, we would train your facilitator on how to conduct your Recitals and Performances.
  • The Full Plan’s monthly base fee is based on the number of students enrolled, ranging between $3 – $5 per student per lesson.
  • So piano lessons for your entire student body costs $12-20 per month per student … this is an amazing opportunity, considering private piano lessons cost $110-$140 per month. We even have ideas of how to build the piano lab costs into your student’s monthly tuition. 

How it Works With the Administrator/Teacher Add-on… 

  • Everything listed above is included, except we will also administrate and teach the classes by Zoom Classroom. 
  • You would still provide a classroom facilitator, but our teacher will conduct the class. Your facilitator would help by logging into the Zoom lesson with our teacher, helping hand out whiteboards, rhythm sticks, rhythm instruments etc. and helping maintain a learning classroom environment. 
  • We will teach every lesson following your school calendar.
  • We will provide training for your parents at our Partnering Parent Orientation.
  • We will track proficiency of each student, and follow up with their parents, making certain that they are learning correctly. This takes HOURS outside of class time, and it’s all included. 
  • OnDemand Courses: We provide home-based program for every student to work individualized study at home
  • Partnering Teachers: We have found that having classroom teacher’s support with practice time in the classroom really helps support parents, so we will provide Partnering Teachers Orientation 
  • If interested, we will train students and conduct via Zoom (or even possibly in person, depending on location) your Spring Recital and Performance Training 

Pricing For Everything including our Administrator/Teacher

  • The Full Plan’s tuition base is based on the number of students enrolled, ranging between $3 – $5 per student per lesson as described above, plus the Administrator/Teacher ADD-ON fee based on $50-75 per hour for 2026-2027 school year. Billing is based on the number of hours actually teaching. All the followup and proficiency, interaction with the parents is included but not charged.
  • NOTE: AS OF MARCH 2026, MRS RIGGS IS ACCEPTING A FEW NEW SCHOOLS FOR HER TO PERSONALLY TEACH Fall 2026-2027 school year. CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY IF INTERESTED in a customized no obligation plan.
  • Text: 256-348-6634

So let’s do a Sample School’s billing:

  • Note: For this example all figures are estimates.
  • A school with 4 classes ages K4- 2nd grade with 15 children in each class (60 students) would bill around $17.00 per month for lessons. (There are ways to pass this to parents)
  • $17.00 x the number of students  (60 for this example) approximately $1000 per month for the Full Program’s base tuition. You get everything listed above for the Full Program without the administrator! 
  • Figuring Our Administrator/Teacher pay: We recommend a 40 minute class weekly, so with 5 – 10 minutes to swap out classes, your hourly requirement for our teacher could be as low as 3 hours weekly based on $50* hour, so around $150 a week or $600 a month. *Hourly rate depends on number of classes being taught.
  • Tallying it all up, you would be providing your entire school (60) students piano lessons for around $1600 a month. If parents were paying for their children’s lessons, the value is over $6100 monthly. Your parents will love you for providing this, and are usually excited to pay the base tuition to have this service. Your children will benefit academically and your school’s reputation will thrive.
