About
🎹 😊 ❤️ 🎵 🎼 📞 👍 🌷 🎹 😊 ❤️ 🎵 🎼 📞 👍 🌷🎼 📞 👍 🌷📞 👍 🌷 Hi — I offer piano lessons that truly change your musical direction. I teach music as a language—not just notes on a page. You’ll learn specific, step-by-step exercises designed to move music into your subconscious, so playing becomes natural, spontaneous, and deeply enjoyable. These are focused, serious lessons—but always centered on joy. When you can truly “speak” music, everything opens up. (If you’re familiar with Kenny Werner’s ideas, you’ll understand exactly what I mean.) I specialize in helping pianists improvise—this is where music becomes the most creative, expressive, and life-changing. Lessons are 45 minutes and taught exclusively on Zoom. All regular students receive free access to my online JazzSkills for Piano course. I teach both classical and jazz. I hold a Master’s Degree in classical piano and actively perform, write, and teach. My approach is highly organized and step-by-step, with one clear goal: to help you develop a natural, creative musical voice that lives in your subconscious. It works. I’m looking to work with students who are serious about reaching their musical potential. If that’s you, I’d be glad to talk about your goals and how we can achieve them. Special: First lesson $50 (regularly $70) Let’s connect. — Martan P.S. Music has been my life—as a performer and teacher. I believe playing music brings joy, balance, and meaning. I truly want it to do the same for you. 🎹 😊 ❤️ 🎵 🎼 📞 👍 🌷🎹 😊 ❤️ 🎵 🎼 📞 👍 🌷🎵 🎼 📞 👍 🌷

Working with Martan is great! He completely loves what he does, and that passion flows through his lessons. The workload is hefty, but it has to be if you want to learn to play piano - there is so much to know. Martan knows it, and he very much wants his students to know it. I wish I had more personal time to improve my skills as quickly as his lessons deserve it, but I work with what I have and have been improving steadily.

My relationship with Mr. Martan Mann began when I purchased his book, Improvising Blues Piano. On page seven of the book, Martan makes multiple references to the subconscious. I immediately connected with his philosophy. I now study privately with Martan. He guidance has caused me to closely observe the mixolydian mode and its application to the blues. I’m enjoying this part of my musical journey. Martan is a gentle, generous mentor. He’s a great pianist too!
