Play the songs you’ve always dreamed of.
One-on-one piano lessons with Austin Weaver — 10+ years of experience, hundreds of students taught, from very first notes to advanced repertoire. Over Zoom, or in person.
Hi, I’m Austin
I have more than 10 years of experience at the piano, and the best part has been teaching. Over the years I’ve helped hundreds of students get from their very first notes to the songs they’d always dreamed of playing — the wedding piece, the film theme, the Chopin they thought was out of reach.
My studio runs on one belief: people learn best when they feel encouraged. Lessons are patient, supportive, and honest — whether you’re six and finding middle C, an adult finally making time for music, or a player polishing an audition program.
Lessons built around you
A personalized plan, from day one
Your free trial ends with a real plan: where you are, where you want to go, and the exact books and pieces that will get you there. Every student’s path is their own.
Learn your dream songs
Technique and theory matter, but they’re in service of the music you actually love. Classical, pop, jazz, film scores: we’ll build your skills through pieces you can’t wait to play.
Never wonder what to practice
You leave every lesson with clear practice steps for the week, matched to your level, your goals, and the songs you actually want to play.
What students say
Austin recently did a concert at a venue in New York and it was absolutely amazing. He mesmerized the crowd and did a phenomenal job engaging everyone, and it was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to.

Is the trial lesson really free?
Yes — every new student starts with a free 30-minute trial: a skill evaluation, all your questions answered, and a plan with your book list. No card, no obligation.
Do you teach in person or only online?
Both. Most students meet me over Zoom from their own piano; if you’re local to the Bay Area and prefer face-to-face, I come to you.

All of them — children and adults, complete beginners through advanced players. Patient, supportive teaching is the whole point of my studio.

A piano or keyboard (61+ keys to start), and for Zoom lessons a phone or tablet with a camera. That’s genuinely it — I’ll walk you through setup in your trial.
