Welcome!
Hi! I am Cindy St. Cyr,
Founder of Houston Music & Wellness Center!
Welcome to the Music School!​​
​
​​​​
How Houston Music &
Wellness Center Began
I began my piano teaching journey in November 2006, after she became a trained Piano Wellness Facilitator with Yamaha Corporation of America, in their Music Making and Wellness Program called Clavinova Connection.
​
I had the great privilege of being trained by the co-creator's of this music wellness program, Dr. Barry Bittman, a world-renowned Neurologist and founder of the Yamaha Music and Wellness Institute, and co-creator Karl Bruhn, known as the Father of the Music Making and Wellness Movement.
I also studied piano pedagogy in college at the University of St. Thomas.
​​
After my training, I opened my own music school in 2007 and began teaching the wellness-based principles in piano that I learned. I continued this journey to include traditional piano lessons, as students grew in confidence and wanted to learn more.​​​​​​

Cindy's Piano Programs
My wellness piano programs are evidence based and scientifically proven and designed to reverse stress while enjoying the process of learning to play piano. They are a fun music making experience you will enjoy from the moment you touch the keys! I currently use the Pedagogy in Motion recreational wellness piano series of lessons.
​
My traditional piano lessons have wonderful benefits as well. I currently use the award-winning Piano Adventures series for lessons. This series teaches a step-by-step approach that builds confidence, it is fun and has a large variety of music styles to choose from.
Student Growth and Development
​
​​One of the things I love most about teaching piano is watching my students develop valuable life skills through the practice of learning piano. Some of those skills include time management, keeping their commitments, self-discipline, and more. I have had the privilege of teaching them and watching some of them grow from age 6 through high school.

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
"Cindy, was very knowledgeable of the material and she was patient and kind. I am looking forward to the next series of lessons."
— Grace Taylor, Grandmother
"I have been taking piano lessons from Cindy for 6 months now. She has been absolutely fantastic!! Cindy is upbeat and very positive with me and my lessons. Cindy takes the time to explain everything and is patient with my progress. She doesn’t rush through my lessons and sometimes runs over my allotted time I have with her. I can’t say enough about how great she is with me.
If you are looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and positive piano teacher, Cindy St. Cyr is the one you want. I highly recommend her as a teacher."
– Tim Woodson, Insurance Agent
"Cindy is a great motivator, and her vibrant personality makes each class a fun experience. She also gives a personal touch of love and acceptance in dealing with the students."
— Eddie Rojas, Trumpet Player
"Learning piano has helped me to exercise my brain and help with my overall wellbeing. My goal is not to become a professional, but to enjoy playing and making music, especially on the Yamaha Clavinova."
– Stewart, age 66
