Piano lessons that meet you where you are
One-on-one lessons for all ages and levels — over Zoom or in person (I come to you). Patient, supportive teaching with a lesson plan built around you. Start with a free 30-minute trial lesson.
Your first lesson is free
Every new student starts with a free 30-minute trial lesson — a relaxed, no-pressure way for us to meet. Here’s what we’ll do:
🎹 Evaluation
We’ll find your current level at the piano — whether that’s “never touched a key” or “played for years.”
💬 Questions & goals
Ask me anything, tell me what you want to play, and we’ll talk through a schedule that fits your life.
📚 Your book list
You’ll leave with a short list of the books we’ll use, matched to your level. (Families cover the cost of books.)

Lessons built around you
Every student gets a personalized lesson plan — no one-size-fits-all method books marched through page by page. Whatever your age or level, we’ll work on what matters to you:
- Technique — scales, tone, and healthy habits at the keys
- Music theory — understand what you’re playing, not just where your fingers go
- Repertoire — classical, pop, jazz, blues: music you actually want to play
- Exam, recital & audition prep — focused coaching when it counts
- Casual, interest-based learning — no exams, no pressure, just the joy of playing
- All ages welcome — patient, supportive teaching for children and adults alike
Online or in person — your choice
Most students love the convenience of Zoom lessons from their own piano. But if you’re local and prefer in-person teaching, I come to you — no studio commute required. Same lessons, same care, wherever you’re most comfortable.
Hi, I’m Austin 👋
I’m a Bay Area piano teacher, and my studio runs on one belief: people learn best when they feel encouraged. Lessons with me are patient, supportive, and honest — whether you’re a six-year-old finding middle C, an adult finally making time for music, or a student preparing for an audition. We’ll build a practice routine that actually fits your life.
