Haley founded ThePurplePiano in 2018, and it has since flourished in to a successful piano studio and well-known kids yoga program. Haley teaches over 50 piano students each week from her home in Louisville, along with kids yoga classes at the Louisville Rec Center. Fellow teacher, Dan, has recently joined ThePurplePiano team to offer piano lessons in homes throughout the Boulder County area. 

​

ThePurplePiano uses a holistic curriculum that addresses the mental and physical aspects of theory, fundamentals, and technique.

 

Lesson plans are tailored to each student and teaching environment, with original curriculum for every class. Students are encouraged to be forthcoming with all of their interests and learning needs.

 

During classes, students cultivate a strong mind-body connection that can also be applied to other contexts. Dramatic play, free exploration, and learning the student's topic of choice are some of the elements used to contribute to a learning environment where students can freely learn, grow, and create.

 

Literature, games, crafts, mindfulness activities, and a sense of humor are also regularly incorporated. Haley enjoys using the Wunderkeys Piano Method, as it is engaging, new, and grows with the learner.
