Thanks to your unwavering passion for music and dedication to the piano, Marcilee's Music Studio is undergoing a thoughtful transformation—upgrading tools, resources, and programs to better serve our community and support those striving for musical excellence at the highest levels.
This next chapter reflects our ongoing commitment to providing exceptional, one-on-one formal piano instruction and delivering a refined learning experience for students pursuing elite performance standards.
After thoughtful research and consideration for our students, we are thrilled to announce that we will be transitioning from Piano Guild Auditions to the internationally respected Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) program. The RCM curriculum is known for its rigor, comprehensive structure, and modern learning resources that support deep musical development.
Exams are held at Lane Music in Brentwood, TN with testing opportunities in the Fall and Spring Semesters.
