About
I've sought a deeper understanding of the processes of learning and retention, and form a method of teaching fresh for each individual student that will best help them learn on an intuitive level- so they will have the skill forever. I strive for what is organic because it's the best way to learn a subject deeply and able to recall the information instantly, not just clumsily drill a student in a manner that (barely) gets them to simply retain the information for a few months. This is why I'm generally my students' favorite teacher- they actually learn! Some out there just teach the same rigid, ineffective way they were taught, a sign to me they're possessed by no passion to explore or create better ways to teach and to learn.
I love nothing more on this Earth than getting paid to help people improve. Actully getting paid to enrich people and send them on a path to knowledge and self-improvement... it boggles my mind, from time to time.

My 4-year-old daughter has been taking pianolessons with Dillon for several months. He is devoted to making sure that my daughter is engaged in her lessons and learns both technique and theory. Even before working with us, Dillon recommended the right type of keyboard and piano workbook to purchase. He is very patient and dedicates a great amount of effort to instructing our daughter (and two of her 4-year-old friends). He is firm and keeps her focused (but not too firm that he intimidates her). Finally this week, my daughter went to her room and practiced by herself and is now able to play "Old MacDonald". Yay for Dillon!

Dillon has been a great instructor. He's been very responsive, willing to answer questions outside of the lessons, supportive during the lessons and has had a great way of adding lightness into what can be stiff playing when beginning on the piano.
Details: 26 - 44 years old • No, the student cannot read music • No formal training; some self-taught experience • Classical • Yes, the student has a keyboard • 60 minutes • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Dillon is an incredible piano teacher! He’s very patient yet encouraging and pushes me to really learn and enjoy learning. Each lesson is much more than just learning to read notes and hit keys. Dillon teaches me to fully appreciate the instrument and the process of making music.
Anyone, adult or child, would be lucky to learn piano with him.
Details: 18 - 25 years old • No, the student cannot read music • No formal training • What the teacher recommends • No, the student does not have either • 45 minutes • The piano teacher travels to me

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pretty simple, $40 for a half-hour lesson, $50 for 45 min, $60 for a full hour. Will take off $5 for back-to-back lessons, e.g. 2 brothers taking half-hour lessons one after the other would be $35x2.
Full policy available upon request.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Having a initial lesson to see for myself what's needed, then going from there to form a lesson plan and session structure, ect.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As it says all over my profile, 13+ years taking private piano lessons myself, was in AT/AP math and reading classes all my life, an education culminating in a bachelor's with honors in broadcast journalism, and many years both public and private tutoring, all age groups.
