Play Along with Us
At AVS, we specialize in voice training, focusing on helping singers. However, we faced an internal challenge. While we’re a vocal studio (not a piano studio), many singers who came to us expressed a desire to have enough piano skills to warm up or play chords on their own. But they didn’t want traditional piano lessons—they wanted to focus on what mattered most to them: learning how to play in a way that supports their singing.
So, we created “Piano for the Vocalist”. A largely FREE program (with optional paid extras), designed to help singers build the confidence and skills they need to perform at their best. Unlike other piano courses, this one was created by voice teachers who play piano, not piano teachers. The result is a program that’s as vocal-centric as ever, with the added bonus of some piano skills.
