Play the songs you’ve always dreamed of.
One-on-one piano lessons with Austin Weaver — more than ten years at the keys, hundreds of students taught, from very first notes to advanced repertoire. Over Zoom, or in person.
Hi, I’m Austin 👋
I’ve spent more than ten years at the piano, and the best part of every one of them 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. No one-size-fits-all method books marched through page by page — 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, whether that’s for a recital, an audition, or your own living room.
A full course library, included
Between lessons, you’re never guessing what to practice. Every student gets access to my four-level video course library — 95 structured lessons from your first notes to advanced styles, with progress tracking so you always know what’s next.

Quick answers
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.
What ages and levels do you teach?
All of them — children and adults, complete beginners through advanced players. Patient, supportive teaching is the whole point of my studio.
What equipment do I need?
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.
How much do lessons cost?
Your first 30-minute trial is free. After that, $99 per 60-minute lesson, including full access to the video course library. Books are the only extra cost.
