    ~ Hello, my name is Dustin and I am passionate about playing piano and empowering others to learn to play. ~ Teaching piano is more than just a job to me. it's an opportunity for me to share with those who are taking piano lessons, something that has given me great joy in life. ~ I was a Full Scholarship Piano Performance Major and have won many National and Statewide piano competitions. ~ I began teaching piano in 2003 in Alaska, I have also taught California and Texas. ~ Memberships with American College of Musicians, Music Teacher National Association, Texas Music Teachers Association and San Antonio Music Teachers Association. ~ My goal is to infuse my students with a love for piano. ~ To encourage them, so they will leave each lesson inspired to practice, with a desire to play the piano for themselves and others. Thank you for taking the time to read my About Me section. I wish you well in finding the right teacher for you. warm regards, Dustin S. I am located on the NW side of San Antonio on Culebra about 2 miles outside of loop 410. *** Studio Equipment *** Dedicated room for piano and lessons. There is an upright studio Steinway piano for lessons. With couch seating and wi-fi available for parents. *** Specialties *** I also use traditional classical piano music and exercises to develop artistry and technique.

    Dustin really is one of the best! He promptly contacted me about my schedule, and worked to genuinely understand my musical background, experience and general person. I will definitely continue my lessons through him, and I will be encouraging all my friends and family to as well!

    Learning piano was a wonderful experience. I not only got to learn to play, but I also learned about the details of playing the piano. Not only for fun on a day to day basis, but also on a more serious note like playing at performance. I was amazed at how quickly I picked up the piano with Dustin's guidance. With his guidance, I discovered that playing the piano was fun and he made it easy to learn. I would recommend Dustin as a piano teacher to anyone.

    We are a military family so have had several teachers. Dustin is a fantastic find! Our son looks forward to his weekly lesson.
