Introduction: Formally trained piano and theory teacher with 25 years combined experience in music and composition. I teach all ages and backgrounds from beginning to intermediate level, covering topics such as reading music, the basics of music theory, and how to start playing and composing by ear. As a queer and neurodivergent musician, I understand that students have diverse learning styles, and tailor my lessons to the individual's interests and needs.

I was blown away by how well prepared Thorn was to teach my daughter's piano lesson. Thorn came prepared for the lesson having learned the music from my daughter's favorite children's TV show which was very thoughtful and impressive. Thorn had prepared a good lesson plan to teach a fun beginner piano class that was simple enough for a young child to understand. I was impressed by his patience and by his kindness to my daughter.

Sterling is a phenomenal piano teacher! I'm not good at sight reading, I learn by hearing, and Sterling is able to work with my preferences without the shame I experienced from previous piano teachers. There's more than one way to learn and Sterling gets it!
