Trained at Oregon State University with a focus on keyboard pedagogy, Perry Piano teaches from 3636 Nile St in North Park's 92104 ZIP code. Students who want to expand into multi-discipline performing arts can also enroll at Children's Creative & Performing Arts Academy on El Cajon Blvd. The curriculum spans four age tiers — young children five through seven, children eight through twelve, teenagers, and adults — each structured around technique, music theory, and music literacy. Recital-ready students can book stage time at Queen Bee's Art and Cultural Center on Ohio St. Advanced instruction builds audition-level repertoire through real-time sight-reading drills, harmonic analysis, and song-structure deconstruction.
