    Did you enjoy taking piano lessons as a child and want your kids to share that same experience? Perhaps you didn't get a chance to learn when you were young and you are wondering if it's too late for you. Maybe you are just looking to better yourself. I have good news for you! It's not too late! I specialize in helping people of all ages discover the joy that comes from playing the piano. I have been playing the piano for 30 years and teaching for more than 20 years. I have worked as a professional musician since 1997 after graduating with a degree in music from Wheaton College. My aim is to help you reach your musical goals and to teach you in a way that you learn best. Experience what it's like to take piano lessons online. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam. You will learn how to read music and to play chords so that you can play your favorite songs. I guarantee you will not only become a better piano player but you will become a better musician overall. Have questions? Contact me using the "Ask Ken a Question" button next to my profile picture. Are you ready to get started? Feel free to reserve a lesson with me at a time that's convenient for you. I look forward to hearing from you!

    Ken was my teacher a few years ago. He is an outstanding teacher and person of character who encouraged his students with patient understanding and diligent, creative efforts to meet the needs of each student. Each lesson was a joy and advanced my skills to the next level. I still am thankful for the recordings he generously and professionally made for me to help me understand chords and improve my ability to improvise.
