    Advanced or serious intermediate students will benefit most from my methods as my recent students have won first prize and gold medals in both regional & State-wise piano competitions ( I highly recommend you read the selected reviews I provided here); Please feel free to use "ask a question" feature prior to booking lessons (highly recommend to make sure we are the right match); At this time due to time limitations and high demands I may not be able to accept beginner students. Reasons why my lessons can be a unique experience for you.... if, and only if: 1- You are looking for a professionally trained performing artist and instructor (with more than 25 years of experience teaching ranging from beginner toddlers at home to advanced musicians in academic studio setting) who is fun to work with and learn from. 2- You look for an individualized approach tailored to your musical needs (Piano Technique, sight-singing, Score reading, Theory, Aural skills). 3- You or your child are busy and want to make the best of your time learning or practicing and therefore need a well-disciplined teacher who can match your schedule; I have a strong Time Management & Follow up System for the lessons. (My philosophy specially for beginners : If it is not measurable , it is not done the right way. ) 4- You actively and carefully read the details (of education and teaching experience) of instructors profile and ask for reviews because you care enough for your time and money to know the difference between a true performing artist (with Master Degree in Music from the Nation's top-ranked music school) versus another "teacher" who has played in their high-school band, and teaches 10 instruments since last month while working on his BA! (Profile pictures and "statements" can always look good though...!) 5- You prefer to have the flexibility of receiving private (or group) lessons in your own home, or you prefer to receive lessons in a studio setting ( I can offer either one).

    Ardalan has been amazing. In one year he transformed my sons Vincent's repertoire and changed the way he played. His approach and discipline helped Vincent to play the music as the composer intended. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience and a no nonsense approach to the fundamentals. It is a pleasure working with him. My son has earned a Gold Medal with Distinction with his rendition of Mozarts Sonata in C minor. Bravo Ardalan and Thank You from the bottom of my heart.
