**Free trial lesson/meet and greet!**
As an award-winning composer/performer and professional music teacher, I strive to engage my students on a deep musical and personal level, while focusing on the most effective ways to practice and to see improvement as quickly as possible!
I attended University of North Texas for my Bachelor's in composition with studies in piano and voice, worked as a teacher full-time, and then graduated from University of Southern California with my master's, where I was awarded Outstanding Graduate in Composition! My relationship with the inner workings of music allows me to cultivate a very strong relationship to the instrument in my students, and find the music within themselves!
Contact me today to set up you or your child’s complimentary 30-minute lesson/meet and greet, or if you have any questions or would like to be in touch with any of my current students or families to hear about their experience!

Anuj will help you learn the piano in the right way. Before starting classes with Anuj, I had taken classes with few other musicians as well, my biggest challenge was lack of knowledge about the right technique and a proper curriculum to follow to learn things the right way. Anuj emphasizes on technique but most importantly he taught me how to learn the elements of music by myself. Besides being extremely gifted and blessed with a musicians ear, he’s worked very patiently with me so far.
I highly recommend Anuj to piano players who are looking to get to the next level

Anuj has helped me re-engage with learning the piano. In just a few lessons I have learned and progressed more than I did in over a year with my prior teacher. Overall great experience thus far.

Our First experience with Anuj was really wonderful. My daughter is normally shy, however I was quite surprised to see how comfortable she felt communicating with Anuj in the introductory session. I can’t wait till my daughter starts her piano lessons with him, and I am super excited to start my vocal lessons with Anuj as well.
Thank you.

Anuj has been teaching my daughter for 2 years virtually. I was hesitant to sign her up for virtual piano lessons but Anuj has been excellent. He’s patient, understanding and is passionate about his music career. He takes the lessons seriously and provides the lessons and feedback that my daughter needs to improve. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for piano lessons .
