Adult Class Piano provides a way to accomplish all these goals and more. Our philosophy is that anyone, regardless of age, musical background, or talent can learn music in a fun, relaxed, and pressure-free environment. Groups are limited in size, and classes are held on digital pianos in one of our keyboard labs studios.

All classes meet once per week for one hour.

Adult Classes Faculty

Amy Mitani is originally from Sendai Japan. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Music from the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma. While there, she studied pedagogy with Dr. Ann Gipson and was an alternate winner of OMTA Collegiate Piano Competition. After teaching for several years, she decided to go back to school for her graduate studies. While pursuing her Master of Arts in Teaching Music from Portland State University, she studied piano performance with Dr. Carol Rich, received intensive pedagogy trainings from Professor Mary Kogen, and taught several college courses for music majors.

Ms. Mitani has been giving group and private instructions for 18 years. Most recently, she taught piano and theory classes at music schools in California, and also served as a board member and a certified evaluator for MTAC. Her students performed exceptionally for recitals, auditions, and specialized exam evaluations.

A while ago, she discovered a joy of collaboration with other musicians; she has performed in an orchestra for musicals and has been performing two-piano ensembles for six years. Because of her passion and love for Latin music and dance, she studied Latin-Jazz/Salsa piano from a well-known salsa pianist, Christian Tumalan. After a tremendous discovery of Latin music, she started to perform as a salsa pianist with several bands in San Francisco bay area.

Ms. Mitani and her husband Jason recently relocated to Dallas because of his job transfer. They reside in North Dallas and are exploring the area. She joined a local Latin band “Orchesta Cervantes” and gave her first performance in Dallas in October 2012. While she has some free time, she enjoys taking Zumba and Yoga classes.
