Piano Lessons

​I have combined my experience as a classical musician, band performer, composer and music teacher to create my own proved method of teaching that simplifies the learning process, making it enjoyable, fun and educational.

​​​Learning to play piano is one of the most rewarding and enjoyable things you could ever choose to do.

​As my student, you will learn to play various styles of music including Classical, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Pop, and will be instructed in a variety of technical studies for the development of strength and dexterity, along with the fundamentals of music theory, sight reading and ear training. Piano lessons are supported with instructional videos, audio clips and challenging online theory games. ​You will learn to play modern pop and rock piano songs, build improvisational skills and do your own arranging and songwriting.​​​

The Benefits of Piano Lessons

Music lessons provide a wide range of benefits.
Music grows new connections in the brain. Because of the way our two hands are used, playing the piano develops these connections better than any other instrument. Piano study improves math skills, coordination, and multi-level thinking. Students slowly develop independence of the hands, and the ability for each hand to perform a completely different action in coordinated unison.


Piano lessons provide a wide range of benefits. They help preserve and develop children's natural creative abilities. Studies show music lessons help develop concentration, coordination and self-discipline. Music lessons improve test scores, cognitive development, math and reading abilities, self-esteem, and school attendance. 


Taking music lessons as an adult is great if you want to bond with your children, or have a productive hobby that stimulates your mind and fingers. Music making makes adults healthier. There are significant decreases in anxiety, depression, and loneliness following music lessons. These are factors that are critical in coping with stress, stimulating the immune system, and in improved health. So, if you have been thinking of taking up piano or any musical activity after all these years… it looks like it’s a great idea!
