Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I grew up reluctantly taking piano lessons, so I know first-hand how difficult it can be to stick with the instrument. I keep this in mind with every student I teach. Each one has a slightly different way of approaching music, and I do my best to find and utilize that. This means doing things like, presenting them with new material that I will often arrange myself. I also keep detailed weekly notes on all my students so that I may track their progress and carefully plan each lesson. I look for students who are self-motivated and have a passion for learning. "A great teacher stimulates his student's creativity enough so that they go out and find the answers themselves" -- Herbie Hancock. For me, ensuring a student is enjoying his/herself is just as important as the material they are learning. Certain rudiments are unavoidable, but learning music should be an act of joy not a chore. Watching my students get pleasure out of their playing is the highest compliment I can receive. I learn just as much from them, as they do from me.

My 5 year old son enjoyed Greg's lessons very much. Greg is professional, patience and kind. We are glad to find him as my son's first piano teacher.

As an adult returning to the piano after many years, I have enjoyed lessons with Greg immensely! He is patient, knowledgeable, and helpful. I've re-remembered some things, but I've learned a lot to complement some of the "muscle memory" and Greg is excellent about sharing some of the theory - which now makes sense after my experiences of a long time ago. I have really enjoyed my lessons and would DEFINITELY recommend him. My lessons have given me motivation to keep playing (and practicing). :)

Our 10 year old son is thriving under the tutelage of Greg. Greg's lesson plans have been extremely effective and he has worked very well with our son. I would highly recommend Greg if you are looking for a reliable, professional piano teacher who gets results.

I've been taking lessons with Greg for four and a half years now, starting from nearly zero in 2018, with the goal of eventually being able to sit down at a piano and "just play". With Greg's teaching (and patience), I've moved closer and closer to this goal, feeling more comfortable in all types of settings, playing songs that I've learned and small melodies that I improvise.
