About
Charlotte Piano Preparatory is a private piano instructional studio. Our primary focus is centered on the basic fundamentals and core principals of the piano, resulting in a well-developed and accomplished pianist. And while a strong foundation has no substitute, it is only through patience and discipline that one truly furthers themselves in any pursuit, not only music. At Charlotte Piano Preparatory, all levels of experience are welcome, and each half-hour lesson is taught privately on a 6' grand piano. Winner of numerous Album of the Year awards for his solo piano recordings and a Steinway piano performing artist, Chad Lawson has toured the world with Julio Iglesias, recorded award-winning albums, and is heard on NPR, as well as on numerous media outlets. "I never aligned myself with the ideology of 'those who can't, teach', he states. To this day, I continue to study and hone my skills as a pianist by studying with world-class pianists. There is always something to learn regardless of your ability." After years of teaching in music facilities, Chad felt the need to hone his attention to students with greater potential. While the traditional music academies and facilities are wonderful and serve a great purpose, he often found the busier the studio became, the noisier the studio became. Most lessons are taught in 5x8 rooms with little to no sound isolation; therefore, the distraction from neighboring rooms was too difficult for the student to focus on the lesson at hand. While practicing a Chopin etude per se, it is difficult to concentrate with the adjoining rooms learning banging drums or violin. The 30-minute lessons are taught in a quiet, peaceful, and spacious studio with a 6' grand piano. Lessons are taught at his residence located off Sardis Road North in Charlotte, NC.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    I've performed in front of 35,000 people as well as 35. At the end of the day, it's the 35 people that matter the most! With an audience of 35,000 much can be lost in the performance and noise of the arena. However, with a small concert of perhaps 35, each note is clearly heard and potentially scrutinized. It is only through diligent training and discipline that a performer can relax and confidently master each of the many elements to go into any given performance.
