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 Kroff is an amazing piano teacher. His enthusiasm for piano is contagious and he is very knowledgeable on all subject of the piano. He’s helped me make amazing progress towards my goals. I always leave lessons feeling motivated and excited to play the piano. Cannot recommend him more

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!

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.

My 13-year-old has been taking piano lessons with Taylor for almost a year now. He is an excellent teacher, especially on modern/jazz methods. He is patient, encouraging and challenging at the same time. He provides regular feedback to parents on progress.
