Locally Loved Since 1979
Unlike a lot of national chain music studios, Piano Central Studios has called Greenville home since the very beginning. PCS’s Greenville roots run deep, with the studio opening its doors in 1979. PCS’s current owner, Theresa Case, has grown the studio to be Greenville’s largest and oldest music school, with two convenient studio locations and lessons taught on campus for students enrolled at Christ Church Episcopal School.
Because PCS is rooted right here in Greenville, you’ll get that extra level of care and connection only a local studio can offer. Strong, lasting relationships between the students and teachers at PCS have created a beautiful, multigenerational community. Now, many students from the past are bringing their children and grandchildren for lessons and embracing the PCS mission of “nourishing hearts and minds with music making for life”.
The Piano Central Studios Experience
Connection, care, and customization are just a few of the things that families mention when they talk about their PCS experience. That’s because the goal of PCS is for families to feel as if they belong and are part of something bigger than themselves, not just signing up for lessons. PCS does this by offering a progression path and music learning that is customized to fit the age, needs, and interests of each student.
Kindermusik families at PCS enjoy access to the Kindermusik app, unlimited makeup classes while enrolled, a free music Love Bag twice a year, milestones certificates, and more!
Lesson students thrive with recitals, performance parties, group musicianship classes, digital lesson assignments, the PCS Milestones Awards Program, and the Practice Space App.
All families receive access to the PCS app, which keeps everything they need conveniently available at the touch of a button. These extras are a wonderful enhancement to the PCS experience, making it a top-notch program for families and students of all ages.
Music Lessons For Everyone!
When Piano Central Studios says they offer music lessons for everyone, they mean it!
From babies and toddlers, children just starting music lessons, teens exploring new skills, adults wanting to learn something new, and advanced students honing their craft, you’ll find lessons for all at PCS.
Kindermusik Classes: Newborn to Age 7
Kindermusik offers young children the opportunity to explore music through various stages. These classes and music lessons occur weekly throughout the year and build on skills as your child progresses. With six age-appropriate levels from Foundations through Level 5, very young children can progress through the program, growing musical skills and beginning a lifelong love of music.
In Kindermusik, families explore and play a variety of instruments, move and dance, develop listening skills, participate in Story Time, and learn musical concepts, all with the love and support of their grown-ups. Classes range from 45 minutes to 1 hour a week.
Group Lessons: Ages 6 – 9
Group lessons in piano and voice are available at both studio locations with their Piano Express and Studio Singers programs.
