Looking for Summer Piano Lessons in Nashville?
Give your child the gift of music this summer – without pressure, practice battles, or rigid one-on-one lessons.
Our 4-week Summer Piano Program (starting June 24) offers a fun, social, and skill-building experience that’s perfect for kids ages 7–12 — whether they’ve taken piano lessons before or are trying music for the first time.

Why We Created This Program
At Miller Piano Specialists, we firmly believe a world with more music makers is a better world for all. Music builds confidence, connection, and creativity, and it should be accessible, exciting, and achievable for all, regardless of age, background, or income.
Too often, music education feels out of reach. Traditional lessons can be expensive. Pianos can be costly. And formal instruction, especially too early, can sometimes feel rigid, intimidating, or uninspiring.
We believe we’ve been getting it backwards.
Before we teach kids how to play music, we need to teach them to love it.
When children first experience music as something fun, expressive, and social, they’re more likely to stick with it and thrive when they do move into more formal lessons later.
This Summer Piano Program is one way we’re putting that belief into action. It’s designed to:
- Remove common barriers like cost, lack of access to instruments, or pressure to already “know” music
- Make music learning joyful, social, and immediately rewarding – especially for new or shy learners
- Help kids develop real musicianship through rhythm, listening, creativity, and collaboration – not just note-reading or drills
Whether your child has taken lessons or never touched a piano, this is a place for them to explore their musical potential in a supportive, welcoming environment and to fall in love with music on their own terms.
Because when kids love music first, they stay with it longer and grow deeper as musicians and as people.
