I am an older student and I started to learn to play the piano more than a year ago under a different teacher. I started with Eugene about 4 months ago. I was struggling with the piano previously. But after just 2 lessons with Eugene, I found myself playing confidently. Eugene explains so clearly and everything makes sense to me now. I enjoy practicing everyday now. He is excellent teacher, patient, and very professional. He is always on time.

About Robert H.
Close I work with a variety of people with many different goals. Currently my studio has young beginners, teens and young adults who are entering their professional career stage with new recordings, videos and many performance opportunities. We have upcoming shows at professional venues for our young artists as well as nursing homes and churches for less experienced performers. Shows include all genres and styles: voice, piano guitar and ensembles - and the studio has a lot of collaboration between people - doing back up vocals, co-writing songs, duets trios and more.

Music Performance Lessons

If you want to be an artist with the total packaged, you should look to complement your music talent and experience with the right attitude when it comes to performing. If you take music performance lessons, you can learn how to command the audience through a powerful stage presence. Through your music lessons you will also be coached on how to behave on stage and how to effectively connect with your audience. As you may already be aware playing is different from performing, and if you wish to excel in both you should consider taking private music performance lessons. This way you’ll have the best chance for success and achieve your goals more quickly.
