Piano Lessons, Courses & Arrangements by a Steinway Artist/University Piano Performance Professor

We help intermediate-advanced pianists make noticeable progress in their playing, improve their technique, & master their favorite classical pieces
Build Speed & Coordination The Fun Way!
FREE TECHNIQUE TRAININGWe all want to play the piano beautifully
but the majority of us feel we lack the time & resources to make meaningful progress.
That's why so many pianists abandon their practice, give up on their dream pieces, and never experience the joy of performing.
Many pianists:
- Can't afford regular private lessons or lack the time to commit to them
- Feel overwhelmed & directionless when deciding what to practice
- Lose motivation when repertoire becomes repetitive or uninspiring
- Experience deep frustration when progress feels painfully slow
