“faces™ is a new and refreshing way to introduce beginning and transfer students to the keyboard! I have used this innovative approach on my beginners and students who were struggling to find their way around the keyboard. Where has this wonderful idea been for the last 300 years? Thank you Geraldine for opening up a new way to teach the musical alphabet!”

"This is wonderful Geraldine, I’m honored to be a part of the promotion. Our children need music and many studies show how the involvement in the arts, i.e. music on the top, improves academic skills, self-esteem and the list goes on and on. Thanks and peace to you. Love always."

"My son began taking piano lessons using the faces™ Curriculum and we saw immediate results. Immediately, his confidence increased dramatically! His math scores increased from a low “D” to a “B” in two - three months! Since then, thanks to faces™, Mo is excelling in music and academics!"

"I was given a birthday present of a month’s lessons in the Tyrance Piano Studio by my granddaughter, this was my 78th birthday. I began studying piano at the age of 8 and never understood how to read notes in the Bass Clef. Immediately, I understand, it was so clear! Right away I shouted, “Geraldine! You are a millionaire, may I invest in this Concept?”

"An owner of a Boys’ Home in Baltimore, MD stated, “Ive studied piano for five years and could never understand the Grand Staff. After ten minutes of studying your faces™ PLAY CARDS, I understand all my notes; now I can teach the boys there at the Home myself.”

"I was a school counselor for students with special needs for over 15 years before this ugly disease Parkinson’s interrupted my life. Taking piano lessons with Mrs. G has helped me in numerous ways: 1-to focus on the position of my fingers 2-to strengthen my finger dexterity and increase my fine motor skills 3-to learn the white notes on the entire keyboard quicker, "now that I have been introduced to faces™.
​​I was hesitant to go with the way music was initially written because I had not learned all the keys yet. Additionally, it helps me to relax, to get my mind off this “ugly illness” and gives me a “Purpose” AGAIN! Mrs. Pearson has a passion for music and this comes across in the lessons. "
Carmelita Byrd, Special Needs School Counselor
"Many years ago in rural North Carolina, Mrs. Tyrance was my middle school vocal music teacher. At that time, and especially with the retrospection of decades past, I knew her to be a tremendously gifted musician, highly effective instructor, and an intuitive and caring role model. Her very intuitive and positive uses of high expectations, discipline and positive reinforcement made learning and performing fun and rewarding! Now I can’t wait to join others and studying Mrs. Tyrance Pearson‘s faces music instruction program!"
