Hi there! I’m Anna Sparks, and I’m passionate about making piano lessons a fun and rewarding experience for your child.
My teaching approach blends the well-loved Faber Piano Adventures books with a mix of classical music, technique, ear training, sight reading, and fun music theory activities.

Piano Lessons
My son has been taking piano lessons with Anna for about 5 months and he has excelled. My husband and I are so impressed with her ability to teach virtually and still feel so connected with ongoing homework, accountability. My son loves Anna and he is looking forward to performing for the fall recital. The convenience of having virtual classes is a huge time saver for busy families! Anna has recently started teaching my 7 yo niece, who is also taken a huge liking to piano class! She is an exceptional teacher and I highly recommend her! More...

I offer online lessons via Zoom and Google meet. Students purchase the lesson books themselves. I receive payments through Zelle, PayPal, and Venmo. I have found online lessons to be effective and on-par with in-person lessons.

Piano Lessons
My approach is efficient, effective, and enjoyable. Along with the Faber Piano Adventures books, lessons include: classical repertoire, technique, fun music theory activities, composing, sight reading, and ear training for a comprehensive musical education.
I have diplomas in piano performance and piano pedagogy from the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM).
For beginners, I recommend 30 minute lessons once a week at $25.
I currently teach virtual lessons to 30+ students. These lessons have proved successful and my students have made excellent progress. I host virtual recitals twice a year.
I enjoy playing piano and organ at my church as well as conducting choir, orchestra, and bell groups. During Covid I ran an international virtual choir and orchestra.
