ABOUT US
THEPIANOANDME is about creating that personal space at our instrument, feeling free in our play, because the piano bends the mood of the day and makes us travel...
We are a Minnesota local-based family business playing in a cozy, relaxed family friendly home-studio, located in Plymouth, MN.

IN-PERSON SETTING
This is where the magic is happening...

Tuned 2-3 times a year for a magical sound throughout the year.
Pianos & keyboard are thouroughly disinfected between each session and masks are required in the studio for covid protection.
