About

I can provide deeper insight and technical knowledge than the average piano instructors out there without charging the fee a college professor normally would. I am also very generous with lesson time and never end a lesson stop-watch style. I enjoy sharing music, which is a living thing that breaths every time we let it pass through us. I enjoy being a torch bearer for the light of music to illuminate people's lives. The making and passing on of music is a miracle, one that suspends my breath in every single one of its sublime moments!

Before coming to Fred's studio, I had already been playing for 14+ years with private lessons. However, I hadn't had the opportunity to take lessons for a couple years and I missed the structure that came with piano lessons. Not only did I get the structure that I wanted with weekly piano lessons, but Fred has been able to help re-inspire me to love the instrument. I leave each weekly lesson excited about the music I'm supposed to play. He doesn't waste my time teaching me principles I already know, instead he opens points of discussion about what the composer might have intended and how to play with feeling and expression. There have been several times where the day of my lesson comes and I haven't practiced. I feel apprehensive and wished I'd canceled the lesson with a feigned excuse so I can go home and practice instead. I'm always glad I didn't cancel when I get to the lesson, though, because Fred will inevitably teach me something new and get me excited to try again the next week.

Fred is a thorough teacher who sincerely desires his students to achieve their best. I am an adult student and was pleased to have a teacher who could start at my skill level and teach me based on my previous experience.

My kids have been practicing with Fred for 2 months now. Fred seems to genuinely like teaching piano, and my kids like his tenderness and precise explanation of how their fingers are supposed to move. Fred often stays longer than the scheduled time to make sure our kids have absorbed and digested his careful and detailed instruction, which is great. We are fortunate to have him as our piano teacher.

FAQs

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
I wish my customers could genuinely believe that to share music is a joy much greater than making money when I teach, that it's not a sales pitch.
