Tempe, AZ Piano Lessons

Learning to play takes time and commitment but it also needs to be enjoyable. We will spend 30% of the time on theory and 70% on playing music from the method book, solo book or other.

I have enjoyed teaching students of all ages for more than thirty years. My satisfaction comes as the piano student discovers new things about music and themselves through the lesson process. My lessons are tailor made to each student. I prefer students with prior experience taking lessons although not mandatory.
My specialty is in working with children, and young adults as well as adults at every level.

Piano is the perfect instrument for understanding how music works. Learn to read and play melodies, scales, chords, and put them together into songs as quickly as possible. Techniques for strength and coordination, reading music, and theory.
Lay a solid foundation to develop your musical creativity.

I have been teaching beginning piaon for over twenty five years. I teach both traditional western methods and the progressive style. I have a Doctorate in Music. I am very experienced teaching all ages. I teach out of my home studio in Scottsdale. If you have ever dreamed of learning to play music, I can help you make that dream come true.

Two tracks: classical or contemporary (or a combination of both if desired). Classical piano has a emphasis on scales, sight reading, and preparing pieces from the baroque through the 20th century. Contemporary piano has a different emphasis on chords, theory, improvisation, and preparing popular songs of the student's choosing. Again, a combination of these two techniques may be used.

I teach beginning students to read music and play by ear.

Piano is often considered the quintessential beginner instrument. Do you want to help your child refine their fine motor skills and learn the discipline that comes with musical training while building self-esteem? Are you are an adult who has always wanted to learn how to play the piano but never made time for it? Weekly piano lessons are a fantastic first step to mastering this wonderful instrument!

Ever wanted to learn the basics of playing or reading music? Piano is the best place to start!
I'm Dalton Fisher and I've been playing piano since I was seven years old. Whether piano is something you've always wanted to try or your child wants to do more than just plink on that old instrument sitting in your living room, I'd love to be the one to bring you the joy of music in your home.

As the award winning pianist with doctorate in piano performance, I have performed at several different nations in the world and taught at Piano Academy and a few universities over 25 years teaching from the beginners to doctorate/professional pianists. With many years of experience as a performer and piano educator, my piano lessons are customized and catered to each student's learning style and goals for the most optimal learning experience. While they will LOVE to play the piano music, they will also be building a great foundation of piano technique, music theory and performances. I teach classical music, traditional/contemporary worship songs with improvisation and accompanying. Through my years of teaching, my students have won many competitions and earned highest scores at the state piano exams and pursued music as their profession. I look forward to working with you to create the MOST BEAUTIFUL MUSIC!

I am a classically trained musician who has a passion for various styles of music. I incorporate classical techniques in order to teach students the best way to achieve their desired style of musicianship.
