Leadership that goes Beyond the Bench

Training musicians of all ages in the art of confident leadership

A Commitment to Growth

At 232 Music Studios, we believe the greatest gift we can impart to our musicians is not only musical artistry and technical theory knowledge, but the ability to apply those talents with confidence and compassion and joy.

Music can be a powerful tool for developing individual leadership skill. The process of learning the piano teaches our students to set goals, persevere through challenges, creatively solve problems, increase focus, and a host of other character building attributes.

Our mission is to Grow Musicians Together – training well-rounded musicians, but more importantly well-rounded people. During each class, we discuss important character traits that are crucial for learning piano and also crucial for life!

Our Core Leadership Principles

Perseverance

“Perseverance is the secret to all triumph”
– Victor Hugo

Commitment

“Motivation is what gets you started. Commitment is what keeps you going.”
– Jim Rohn

Growth Mindset

If you never take chances you’ll never fail. If you never fail, you’ll never grow.

Focus

I focus my eyes. I focus my ears. I focus my body. I focus my mind.

Creativity

“Learn the rules like a pro so you can break them like an artist.”
– Picasso

Excellence

“I do the very best I know how, the very best I can, and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.” – Abraham Lincoln

Junior Leader Program

Students who have shown exceptional dedication to their musical growth and exemplify our Beyond the Bench characteristics are invited to step into the role of Junior Leader. These musicians assist in the classroom, teaching younger students and gaining valuable leadership experience.

Being able to shape these young people to lead with confidence, care, and compassion is an honor! Are you ready to join this community as we grow musicians together?

We have 2 children that have been doing lessons at 232 Music Studios for over 2yrs. The amount of progress they've made has been amazing! We love the structured curriculum and how the kids progress at their own pace while also learning music theory. The opportunities to learn performance skills is wonderful- the kids loved performing at the summer concert! Time has flown by and seeing how much our kids have learned has made us more than happy to recommend any family to give 232 Music Studios a try. It's a great environment to inspire kids to learn piano and motivate them to continue progressing in their skills and love of music!

Adult piano lessons have been such a great experience at 232. Sharon and Braydon are wonderful piano teachers — kind, professional, and encouraging.

I have attended this studio for eight years. In this time I have met some of the most intelligent and talented piano players and teachers, who have all helped me grow into a better piano player. The studio emphasizes practice, which is holistic in nature, and also encourages students to develop character “beyond the bench”. Come to this studio at once; you shall not regret it.

As an adult learner, both Jonathan and Brayden have been encouraging and supportive teachers. Although the curriculum is designed for kids, I never once felt like I was a class for kids. They both approach the material and roles with a level of seriousness and care that supports strong foundational growth, and I leave each session feeling more confident in my progress and my ability to progress toward my piano goals.

Mr. Jonathan has been a inspiration for my son. Not only does he learn songs he wants to learn on his own free time, but Mr. Jonathan listens to it patiently and excitedly to guess the song. It has been a wonderful year with 232 studios and we have appreciated all of the teachers efforts and time they put into their students.

My 8-year-old son is in Blue Level. After the recent public recital, he developed much confidence performing to large audience. His school will be doing a talent show next week and he wants to participate. Last year was a different story, he would not join since he was so shy. He loves music and I see that he becomes more passionate about it. Thank you to the Music Teachers and Staff of 232! In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, I would like to express our appreciation to Mrs Sharon and Mr Edison for their untiring dedication to teach/ train kids to grow up as musicians. Music is a universal language, most of the time people can misunderstood each other, however through music it connects everyone. Growing up, I did not learn how to play any instrumental equipment. Having my son enjoying his journey as pianist makes me excited and proud for who will he become in the future. Future is limitless.
