Introduction
As a teacher with years of experience, I aim to provide a thorough understanding of piano technique, music theory, ear training, and sight reading to my students while constantly cultivating their individual passion and excitement about music. I maintain an upbeat, exuberant attitude coupled with patience and understanding I've acquired from working with children and adults of all ages, ranging from 4 to 66 years old. After receiving my Bachelor of Music at the renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, I spent a couple years back home in Portland, Oregon before traveling to Tokyo for nearly three years to teach and perform there. In addition to several years experience as a private instructor, here's a list of institutions where I've previously held a position as piano faculty: - Onset School of Music (Wakefield, MA) September 2013-September 2014 - Chelsea Community Schools (Chelsea, MA) September-December 2013 - Global Music Institute (New Delhi, India) January-April 2014 - Jacob's International Music School (Kamata, Tokyo, Japan) September 2016-March 2019 After these experiences and hundreds of private lessons, I have established my method for teaching the piano and am able to adapt to a variety of interests and styles depending on the student's personality. I'm happy to travel to the student's location, but depending on the distance and time I need to commute, I may charge an additional travel fee. Thank you for taking a moment to check out my Thumbtack profile, and I am looking forward to meeting and playing piano with you or your child!

We have had our first lesson and it was great! My son had to be pulled away from the piano each day or he will do nothing else. He is inspired!

Grant is a fantastically talented musician I have known since he was 14. I recommend him because he alone (of the multiple teachers I have had) explained the way rhythm works. I still use this info years later. And my NY City professional jazz musician son listened in to the lesson and said it was new to him and improved his playing.

Grant was my teacher earlier this year for about 12 classes. Even though my primary instrument is guitar, I got plenty of great advice. I was very satisfied right from the first class. I liked that his approach was more about phrasing, swing, time-feel, and making the most out of transcriptions, as opposed to straight-up theory based instruction. I loved the fact that he honed in on my weaknesses without me even mentioning them. Another thing that I really appreciated was that our line of communication was very clear right from the start. He would always get back to my queries via email. Apart from being a great teacher, Grant is also a very talented musician. This is of course very inspiring for any serious student. If at all I could make a complaint, I'd have to say that I wish the lessons were a bit longer. But then again, you always feel that way when you're enjoying the classes.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    For students who would like to take lessons at their residence, I am happy to travel to you but in some cases I will need to charge an additional fee to cover travel time and expenses.
