Welcome To The MEA Piano Studio
Hi, I’m Michelle Ayler, the founder and director of MEA Piano Studio. My goals are deeper than simply teaching piano lessons in Washington, NC – I want kids to discover, master, and love music.
By encouraging creativity and activity, I teach music fundamentals while making music lessons fun. If you want to enroll your child in lessons that they won’t want to quit, please get in touch! I’d love to hear from you.

About Our Piano Lessons + Classes in Washington
About The Studio
With 60+ piano students enrolled at a given time, MEA Piano Studio is one of the largest online piano schools that offer classes in Washington, NC. Michelle Ayler draws from her education at Duke Ellington School of the Arts (piano & composition) and Radford University (composition) to enrich students’ lives through music, and you’ll find our studio to be a friendly, welcoming environment where students have fun and learn the piano.
Ages I Teach
I focus on pre-college piano lessons, and I welcome students ages 4-17 into the studio. Young beginners will enjoy group classes, and as students improve, they can enroll in private piano lessons in Washington, NC or the surrounding area. Activities and curriculum are always age-appropriate.
What Lessons Are Like
Your child or high schooler will learn proper technique (hand position, posture, etc.), how to read music, how to play by ear, rhythm, how to compose a song, and most importantly, how to have fun at the piano! We use the Mayron Cole method in our piano classes, but I mix in more advanced repertoire as students advance. Young kids will also have a great time with games both at and away from the keyboard. Get in touch for more information about our piano lessons in Washington, N.C. and the surrounding area.

What Parents Say About Our Washington NC Piano Lessons
My daughter took piano lessons from Michelle for multiple years (four? five?). Michelle is an excellent teacher. My daughter went to a variety of competitions and performed in the recitals. My daughter felt challenged and made great progress. She did very well in the competitions and Michelle's tutelage was apparent. My daughter really wanted to earn the end of year ribbons / trophies. My daughter stopped studying piano when she took up the brass horn and chorus and when homework started to take lots of time. If my daughter wanted to return to piano, we would go right back to Michelle. I would not hesitate to recommend Michelle.

Genres Covered In Washington, NC Piano Lessons
I don’t follow a “classical” or “pop” curriculum, so to speak – I teach fundamentals that will extend to any genre your child wants to pursue. Among other things, we study rhythms and different time signatures, how to read notes, how to create melodies, how to read chords, and other aspects of music theory. In short, I build a musical foundation upon which your child can pursue jazz, blues, rock, classical music, and more!
