Discover The World Of Piano

The world of music is a wonderful place. While learning to play piano, you will discover new things about yourself. Not only will you gain knowledge, but learning to play music will give you a deeper connection to being expressive and creative. You will also develop new thinking and coordination skills. Learning to read music is the core of playing piano. There are great popular, classical, folk, blues, jazz, and new age songs to learn. The music you enjoy is the music we will work on. What could be more fun than playing the piano?



“My son’s piano lessons are super fun and his teacher is very experienced and totally cool. Tommy loves piano lessons and playing piano at home. He started as a complete beginner and has quickly learned to play well. I am so really happy with his progress, and it’s a great activity him. I’d much rather hear him playing piano than doing video games! 

He reads music, plays by ear, does improv, makes videos, all fun things that develop his skills. They say kids who study piano develop exceptional learning skills that carry over to school work. I can already see this in just the one year he's been taking lessons.”  
- Terry Wallace
"These are really fun lessons. I'm quickly learning skills and my playing has so improved. I began lessons a little over a year ago as a complete beginner. The lesson pace suits me, nice and relaxed. My teacher really cares about my progress and takes lots of time to explain everything in detail. Kudos to his immense patience. 

In addition to other styles of music, I recently started Blues Improvisation, which is such a blast. I look forward to the lessons each week, even when I haven’t practiced much. There is always something new to learn. I enjoy the feeling of having accomplished something. Each week I move forward a little bit. It ads up. I am now playing music I never imagined I'd be able to play." - Tony Johnson
“My wife and I are very pleased with piano lessons. My son is having fun and is progressing well. His teacher does a great job giving him interesting pieces to play. He learns to read music and compose his own songs, which he really enjoys. He gets to print out his original music, record a multi-track version, and make a recording. That gives him a lot of satisfaction.” - J. Caruso

Piano and More
Lessons can include more than just learning to read music. If you are interested, you can also learn to play by ear, do blues improvisation, learn about chords and theory, arranging music, accompanying voice, composing and songwriting. Some students focus on just reading music. Other students want to do it all. These are your lessons and you’ll know what appeals to you once you’ve started.

Beginners

I get a lot of questions about beginning students. Some students are hesitant to start because they are complete beginners. I really enjoy working with beginning piano and keyboard students. It’s great watching them progress and flower. Beginning students are always very welcome and very much encouraged. Children as young as four can begin piano. Each child is unique, and there is something exciting about lessons for each. Adults of any age may begin lessons. Learning music and playing piano is all about the joy of making music. Anyone can learn. Everything you need to know will be presented in a clear and easy to understand sequence. I strive to make my lessons enjoyable and interesting.

If you are a beginner, getting started is a first step. A piano studio with the right teacher can make all the difference. Your progress will depend on what you feel you are accomplishing with lessons. I give my students the music that they enjoy playing. Learning to play music should never be boring; it should be exciting and inspiring.

Individual Lessons
Private, one-on-one individual lessons are the only way to learn piano. Personalized lessons are very effective in insuring that you progress quickly. I never teach group lessons.  Private, individual piano and keyboard lessons provide you the extra attention to get you on track. I have two acoustic pianos and a full size keyboard in the studio, so I can play examples of pieces while you’re seated at your piano. And it’s ok to have fun…
 

Learning to play piano will give you a new sense of what it means to create something beautiful. It’s an adventure, and something special. Every student is unique, and will move forward at a rate that is right for you. A modern, no pressure approach will give you lots of opportunities to find joy in learning . The lessons are yours. Enjoy the new experience of learning piano.
