Piano Lessons

Master the piano with a creative approach that goes beyond traditional sheet music reading

Why Learn Piano?

🎹 Foundation for All Music

Piano provides the best foundation for understanding music theory, harmony, and composition. It's the perfect starting point for any musical journey.

🎵 Visual Learning

The piano's layout makes music theory visual and intuitive. You can see relationships between notes, chords, and scales in a way that's impossible on other instruments.

🎼 Versatility

From classical to jazz, pop to blues, the piano can handle any musical style. It's both a solo and accompaniment instrument.

🎯 Creative Expression

Develop your unique musical voice through improvisation, composition, and personal interpretation of music.

My Teaching Approach

I believe piano education should be about more than just reading notes. My approach combines traditional technique with creative exploration, helping you develop both the skills to play existing music and the confidence to create your own.

We start with fundamental skills like proper hand position and basic technique, but quickly move into making music that sounds good and feels rewarding. You'll learn to play by ear, improvise, and understand the theory behind what you're playing.

Whether you're interested in classical piano, jazz improvisation, or contemporary styles, I'll help you develop the skills and musical understanding to pursue your interests.
