Always wanted to play piano?

Yes - everyone can play piano! Everyone is musical. Radical idea, isn't it?

Do you believe you're musical? Many people don't.

Especially if your experiences with learning music have been less than positive.

What keeps you from learning piano?

Maybe you:

• remember a music teacher's negative comments
• had piano lessons as a kid - and hated them
• feel guilty about that unused instrument in your living room
• believe you're too old to start learning

Or maybe you've never even touched a keyboard, but you've just always longed to play.

You are musical (no matter what you think!), and whatever your history, you can learn to play piano.

I've taught people just like you in my studio. People who believe they aren't musical at all. People who think they'll never learn to play.

People who believe playing an instrument is only for the elite, gifted few.

But then I see the joy on their faces when they discover they've been wrong - and play that song that they love for the first time. I hear stories of impromptu concerts for friends and family, and the joy that sharing music together brings.

I've even seen tears when all the practice and learning comes together into nearly effortless, beautiful playing.

You can experience every bit of that joy for yourself!

Worried about all those negative experiences you've had?

I'll let you in on a secret. Ready?

The problem isn't with you. It's not that you're not musical, you can't learn, or you're too old.

The problem is the way you were taught!

The traditional method of learning piano - which most teachers use - can work. But chances are, if you've read this far, it didn't work for you.

Be encouraged! There are so many new, exciting ways to learn!

Whether you're interested in learning at home, or learning with a teacher, I'll tell you all about your choices and what to look for when comparing methods and choosing a teacher.

I'll share practice tips and techniques, and how to set up your practice room for success.

I'll share everything I've learned in my years as a private lesson teacher, and what works for my students, young and old. You can read all kinds of tips for great practice -- the same advice I'd give if you were my student!

I'll also help you:

• explore great free sheet music
• learn some music theory
• find inspiring piano art and accessories
• learn how to buy a piano

And don't worry. I'm not going to talk over your head, or speak in musical terms you don't understand. Music is for everyone - to be experienced and shared and enjoyed.
