About
I offer piano lessons for individuals living in the East Valley cities of Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Queen Creek, Tempe, and Apache Junction. I’m a dedicated piano instructor with over 30 years of experience in both piano performance and teaching. I hold a Master’s degree in Education from Arizona State University and am currently a public school teacher. I specialize in beginner to early-intermediate piano lessons for students of all ages. I have taught in public schools in both general education and special education classrooms from Kindergarten through 12th grade, giving me a strong foundation in educational pedagogy and differentiated instruction to ensure all learners and learning levels are successful. I am adept in all styles of piano playing, including classical, pop, jazz, and more, and I tailor each lesson to help students build confidence, technique, and a genuine love of music. For added peace of mind, I hold a valid State of Arizona Department of Public Safety Level 1 Fingerprint Clearance Card. Lessons are $25 for a 30-minute session.

My child has learned so much from Mr. Walden! We had started off with lessons with a teachers who came to our home and we tried online. None of those were really working: when the teacher came to us, our daughter wasn't as focused because, well, she was at home, and online just was silly because piano needs an instructor there! Mr. Walden's studio has been excellent to continue to foster our daughter's love of music/piano. Mr. Walden is a great teacher, and his rate is awesome for the value and knowledge you get.

Mr. Walden has been a wonderful piano teacher for our daughter. She started as a complete beginner, and from the very first lesson he was incredibly patient, encouraging, and extremely knowledgeable. He explains concepts clearly and takes the time to make sure she truly understands, which has helped her grow so much as a piano student. Most importantly, she genuinely enjoys her lessons and looks forward to them each week. We’ve been very impressed with her progress and highly recommend Mr. Walden to anyone looking for a great piano teacher.

As a parent, I can’t say enough good things about Mr. Walden. My son started piano lessons with him two years ago as a complete beginner at 10 years old,and he has made wonderful progress as a pianist! Mr. Walden is extremely knowledgeable about the piano and has a wonderful way of teaching that makes learning both structured and enjoyable. He challenges my son while still being patient and encouraging, which has really helped build both his skills and his confidence. Most importantly, my son genuinely looks forward to his lessons each week. That says everything to me. We’re so grateful to have found such a dedicated and talented teacher, and I highly recommend Mr. Walden to anyone looking for piano lessons.

I also hold a valid State of Arizona Department of Public Safety Level 1 Fingerprint Clearance Card.
