A new music program is giving local families a reason to get excited about piano lessons. Piano & More, a Northern Virginia based in-home and online music program, has launched The Confidence Kickstart, an eight-week premium piano package designed to do more than teach notes on a page. Its goal? To help children in Arlington, Falls Church, and McLean build lasting confidence through music.

Unlike traditional lessons, this program blends music instruction with opportunities for creativity, performance, and self-expression. Families who enroll can expect their child to:

🎹 Learn a fun pop song in just eight weeks
🎶 Perform alongside another musician
🎨 Explore creativity and emotional intelligence (EQ)
🌟 Experience a guaranteed boost in confidence

What makes the program unique is its emphasis on transformation. Instead of simply adding “another activity” to a child’s schedule, The Confidence Kickstart is designed to foster personal growth, helping students feel proud of their progress and ready to share their music with others.

"The Confidence Kickstart is designed to deliver in 8 weeks what most lessons take years to achieve. Backed by years of experience and testing on dozens of students, we are using a more effective method to learn songs on the piano (and it's more fun)."

The program is especially appealing to busy families who may not have time for long commutes to a music school. With flexible options for in-home or virtual lessons, children can grow musically and emotionally right where they are most comfortable.

Parents in Arlington, Falls Church, and McLean have already expressed excitement about a program that focuses on the whole child. Beyond the technical skills of piano, the inclusion of creativity and EQ development means children aren’t just learning how to play music, they’re learning how to express themselves, manage emotions, and build resilience.

Music educators and psychologists alike have long highlighted the link between music and confidence. Studies show that children who perform, even in small settings, gain skills that transfer to school, friendships, and future opportunities. Programs like The Confidence Kickstart bring these benefits closer to home, making them accessible to families juggling work, school, and extracurricular schedules.

Enrollment is now open, and families can explore more details about the program at pianoandmore.org.

For local parents looking for something beyond the ordinary, this eight-week piano journey could be the spark that helps children shine on stage and in life.
