Welcome to The Piano Arts Studio
Founded by Amy Aberg McLelland
As the only professional in the Southeast to have received instructor-level certification from the Golandsky Piano Institute, New York City, Amy brings a rare depth of expertise to the art of expressive sound. Central to the studio's mission is the vital relationship between musical imagination and coordinated, healthy movement at the keyboard -- principles that enable pianists to play with total freedom and lasting ease.

Whether crafting original compositions, collaborating as an elite artist-for-hire, or retraining pianists to achieve physical ease, The Piano Arts Studio serves as a premier regional hub for advanced musicianship. Drawing on the pioneering work of Dorothy Taubman, our environment is designed for those who refuse to settle for the ordinary—emphasizing efficiency, tonal beauty, absolute freedom, and lasting mastery.

Based in Birmingham, Alabama, The Piano Arts Studio offers elite private instruction both in-person and to a global, student base online.
