About
I have been teaching private piano/music theory lessons for two decades. I've taught hundreds of students, of all ages, backgrounds and skill levels. I offer instruction in skills such as performance, technique, music reading, articulation, music theory, composition, and improvisation. I teach both the classical and jazz methods, and I work with students in whichever genre(s) they're interested in, including classical, pop, rock, jazz, blues, Latin, funk, etc. I offer in-person lessons at my home studio in Round Rock, as well as virtual lessons over Zoom.

Taylor is a fantastic piano teacher and I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found him on Thumbtack. I did a trial lesson with a few teachers online, and Taylor was clearly the right choice. I am an adult, professional woman who studied classical piano through high school and into college. I always wanted to be able to sit down and play anything. Taylor knows how to teach to what you're looking to do. My lessons are all online, and it always amazes me that he cannot see my keyboard - he is going completely by his ear, and he doesn't miss a note! He is very organized and focused. Each week I have technical exercises to strengthen my fingers, theory, and a song or two to work on. It's exactly what I was looking for. Taylor appreciates that I'm doing this for fun, yet holds me accountable so that I can get the results I'm looking for. Last but certainly not least, Taylor is a really lovely person. His passion and devotion to both music and his family are infectious (infectious in a good way!). Spending that hour online each week with Taylor gets me outside my little bubble, and I think if we all did that more, this would be a much better world!

Taylor is such a great teacher! He does a really good job of teaching the 'basics' while at the same time allowing you to choose the learning path you want to go down. I feel like I've learned an incredible amount, not just about piano technique, but about music theory and even song composition. Such a brilliant and enthusiastic guy - I would recommend 100%!

Details: 26 - 44 years old • Yes, the student can read music • 2 - 4 yrs of formal training • What the teacher recommends • Yes, the student has a keyboard • 45 minutes • Within the next 1 - 2 weeks • I travel to the piano teacher

Been learning from him for over 7 months now. He is fantastic as a teacher. He will ask your goals and suggest a learning style. I'm an absolute beginner so I appreciate that. He uses the lesson time well and gives decent homework. I take in person classes at his place and he has a good piano for me to learn on. Still continuing to learn from him.

Taylor is an amazing teacher and mentor. I really admire his passion. I can tell he's invested in my progress as a musician, and he is incredibly thoughtful about how he structures our time together while pushing me to practice and improve on my own. I would highly recommend Taylor to anyone who's serious about learning piano.
