    🏆 Book piano lessons with Steven B today! Many of my students love learning piano and voice together. ❤️ Piano 🎶 I love teaching piano! I am Steven B, and I have been a professional piano teacher for 30 years. I combine teaching to read music, playing by ear, and improvisation. From my recording studio, I have created a method for getting my piano students to play by ear. With all of this, my students play piano beautifully with feeling. I teach popular, classical, jazz, blues, and more. I teach all levels of the piano through professionalism. Beginners are always welcome. I have taught over 30,000 piano, guitar, and voice lessons and 10,000 of those have been online. See Online Special. Get ready to learn the piano in a new way, and have a lot of fun! 🎁 Online Special - Free Webcam, Music Stand You catch a quality FREE USB webcam and music stand if needed. I do this as a courtesy to the student. For over 20 years, I have taught piano lessons via Skype (free download) in students' homes in places like Vermont, Texas, Idaho, Montana, California, and everywhere. It feels like the student is sitting two feet from me. It's fun and engaging! You can take piano lessons with me on any device: laptop, tablet, iPad, desktop, or cell phone. Reviews 👨🏻‍🦱 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ By Jason in California Steven is an amazing teacher! I was skeptical at first about taking piano and singing classes online but after the first lesson I was confident that it's the best way to go. Steven knows how to motivate and scale the lessons appropriately. I've progressed so quickly and feel like I can really play the piano and sing. 👩🏻‍🦳 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ By Ellen My time in being instructed by Mr. Steve on piano was a great, informative experience. Ever since the first lesson, he is a very good teacher that clearly knows what he is doing. Mr. Steve taught me at my own pace, taking time to help me work on skills, especially small details that help me perform much better. He is a very skilled instructor, teaching me pieces from not only music books that he provides, but also the valuable skill of learning by ear, a skill few other teachers bother to touch on. Mr. Steve has helped on a number of occasions with songs that I am learning on my own and fit time into our lessons to work on them. He is always willing to let the student work on what they like as well as what he gives out. When I once mentioned my liking for jazz, we soon started an in-depth series of lessons into the genre, teaching me much more than I ever knew prior to it. I’ve never felt pressured by my assignments and pieces to bring home, as Mr. Steve knows everyone goes at their own pace and can take anytime from a few days to a few weeks to learn a song. My time with him was a very fun and informative time that I thoroughly enjoyed. 👱‍♀️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ By Cheryl in Coronado I just wanted to say Thank You and let you know how much I appreciate all the information and help you have given Mikey. You helped him form a great hobby that he loves to do and the family loves to hear. He has come so far since his first lesson and I am happy you kept the Piano lessons interesting for him. Mr. Steven, thanks again for being a kind, great teacher to him. 🧑🏽 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ By Justina in California Mr. Steve is a great blessing to my Child. My son has learned a lot from his online piano lessons and now plays piano in church. 👩🏻‍🦱 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ By Aubreigh in Montana I have been doing online piano and vocal lessons with Steve. Over the time I have been, not only have I noticed a huge improvement, but friends, family, and strangers have too. When I began to perform again after taking a long break, I started getting standing ovations! And this was after I started working with him! He goes into every lesson in such a good mood which encourages you and pushes you to do better all the time. He goes above and beyond for his students, and I highly recommend him! 👨🏽‍🦰 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ By Dominique in San Diego Steven is an exceptional piano teacher. He knows how to motivate and encourage a student, and is very accommodating with regard to a student's particular interests. One of his most outstanding teaching features is that he has an entirely unique approach to ear training (playing by ear). He creates customized playing-by-ear, step-by-step, walk-through recordings--which he professionally produces in his home studio. These recordings break down a piece in such a way which allows a student to learn how to recognize intervals, chords, chord inversions, melodic lines, and more. I cannot emphasize enough the (often under-appreciated) value of such ear training for students at all levels! 👩🏻‍🦰 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ By Tedi Jo in Montana Working with Steven is a great experience. Even though I have played piano for years, I cannot read a note. He is able to work with my "ear" that hears the music. I am hearing things that I haven't ever heard before, especially in my left hand. I truly enjoy every piano lesson and learn something every time!

    Steve is very knowledgeable and very friendly and matches your learning pace effectively. His experience with guitar, piano, and vocals is invaluable, of course, but it's clear he also has a lot of experience in teaching, which is absolutely crucial for making his knowledge accessible to students. I've been taking lessons from Steve for about 8 or 9 months now and I've seen some significant progressive in my guitar skills over that time. I started as a complete beginner but I've gained a lot of confidence and comfort when it comes to guitar.
