Sykes Piano Studio is located in Brooklyn Park, MN. Our specialty is popular piano: rock, jazz, and blues styles. Learn chord theory and improvisation, plus stylistic tips to make you sound like the pros. Music theory is strongly emphasized; pop songs offer practical applications of music theory.
Beginning and intermediate students, ages 13 through adult, are welcome. You will receive a solid grounding in all the basics and beyond.
Become a keyboardist capable to thriving in a variety of settings: church band or neighborhood rock band, choir accompanist, family song leader, club jazz combo, composer via your computer. Or play simply for your own personal enjoyment.
Local students hail from Maple Grove, Champlin, Osseo, Brooklyn Center, and Brooklyn Park. However, with the option of online piano lessons, Cheri’s instruction is available to students around the globe!
