About
Hi there! I’m Anna Sparks, and I’m passionate about making piano lessons a fun and rewarding experience for your child.
My teaching approach blends the well-loved Faber Piano Adventures books with a mix of classical music, technique, ear training, sight reading, and fun music theory activities. This combination ensures your child gets a well-rounded musical education.
I hold diplomas in piano performance and pedagogy from the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM).
I know some parents might wonder, "Can online lessons really work?" The answer is yes! I currently teach over 30 students virtually. Their progress is excellent, on par with in-person students, and the lessons are fast-paced and fun! I host virtual recitals twice a year—it's a great way for them to share their progress and celebrate their hard work.
For beginners, I recommend 30-minute lessons once a week, which cost $27.
Outside of teaching, I love playing piano and organ at my church, and I conduct the church orchestra and bell groups. During the pandemic, I even ran an international virtual choir and orchestra, which was an amazing experience in bringing people together through music.
If you’re considering piano lessons for your child but have questions about how it all works, feel free to reach out. I’m here to help and would love to chat more about how we can make music a joyful part of your child’s life!

Was a pleasure working with Joy. She is easy to talk to, can quickly adapt to different students needs and adjusting plans to fit what they need. I’d recommend her as a piano teacher to my friends.

Anna is a wonderful piano instructor! She is patient, knowledgeable, and makes learning piano fun for our daughter, Charlotte. Anna has a way of easily connecting with students of all ages and abilities as is evident by her students recitals. Charlotte has shown wonderful musical development in her time with Anna and is eager to continue with her.

I really like coming to practice with Ms. Anna when i come to practice. I have a lot of fun playing and learning and she doesnt make me feel rushed, or pressured ever. Which for me I really appreciate.
Joy of Piano Studio (Remote)'s reply
Haha, I feel like I'm always rushing, but I'm glad you feel able to take it at your own pace. That's the beauty of private lessons. We can take time to enjoy the music and focus on skills and repertoire that matter to you.
