The Quesada Family at Christ Church Fort Worth.

God made us with an ability to play music. Jose Quesada was born in San José, Costa Rica. Won Yong Lee was born in Incheon, South Korea. José learned to play several instruments (especially piano) in Costa Rica and the United States. Won Yong learned to play the piano in Korea, Argentina, and the United States.

Both moved to Fort Worth in 2008 to continue their studies at Texas Christian University. At TCU, José audited a class of business for musicians. The class encouraged him to be an entrepreneur. The Zion project started as a concert series in Costa Rica and it continued as a home piano academy in Texas. Zion Piano Studio opened its doors in 2015 in a small apartment with one student and one piano. In 2017, the Quesada family (and the Studio) moved to the City of Benbrook. 

We love teaching music because it allows us to connect with people. We pass knowledge and help students develop their musical abilities, but our mission goes beyond weekly piano lessons. We think of our students and families as our neighbors (Mark 12:31) and we do our best to love them and help them in the best way we can. Piano teachers can produce a positive impact in the life of their students. They can also build strong relationships that can last a lifetime.

Jeremiah 1:5 says “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.”

"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." (Ephesians 2:10, KJV)

Very often new students call into our studio with the desire to start piano lessons, but are completely unaware of the basic things that are needed to start the journey. We prepared the following guide with the three basic things anyone needs to start playing the piano.

1. A Piano

Having a piano might be obvious for some, but frequently new students want to begin piano lessons without having an instrument at home. An acoustic piano such as the Yamaha Upright Piano or a digital one such as the Yamaha P125 are our recommendations for a first reliable piano to buy.

2. A Piano Instructor

Learning the piano requires proper guidance. Our recommendation is to get in contact with one of our qualified piano teachers for in-person or online lessons. A qualified piano teacher will guide you through the best curriculum for you, and it can also help you get the basic needs to start playing the piano right away. You can also learn from online tutorials, or through self-teaching materials with certain limitations.

3. A Piano Method Book

If you hired a qualified instructor, he or she will tell you which method book to buy. If you are teaching yourself or your child to play the piano, you may want to start with a traditional piano method book such as Faber Piano Adventures or Piano Town.

Playing the piano could be one of the most beneficial activities you and your family can do; however, it needs to be done correctly. Proper training from qualified instructors with the right instrument and learning materials are key for success. Let us help you meet your goals. Enroll now in one of our lessons.
