Levels taught:
Beginner, Intermediate, AdvancedWe will take a look at the music that has moved you in the past in order to give you a harmonic vocabulary, and we will also look at some music you haven't heard before as a way of stretching your awareness.
We can also discuss the psychological roadblocks people often run into when they compose, and discuss how the creative process works.
I would love having you as a student, so I hope you'll contact me!
About Paul K.
I have played piano my whole life, and I also play guitar and trumpet. I love jazz, classical, contemporary, and rock music and many other diverse styles. I am an improviser, composer, and music theory enthusiast, very in touch with the creative side of music.
I’m easygoing and patient. I put thought into each individual student and will design a curriculum around your particular interests and needs. I can teach in traditional ways, or I can teach through improvisation, call-and-response, imitation, transcription and other organic and intuitive learning methods.
I believe that playing music should be intrinsically rewarding, so I have students play music that they genuinely love. I believe in the value of music listening, having role models, and studying our favorite music. I often play by ear, and believe it is a learnable skill that will help you connect with music more naturally.
I hope you'll contact me and we can learn some music together!

Excellent first lesson. Looking forward to many more.

Thank you.
Only problem was the technical issues with his computer.
Great help with music theory.

Excellent help.

Paul is an excellent piano instructor for individual lessons. He has a wealth of knowledge in music theory as well as in practice. He is very friendly and keeps practice fun by integrating music from the area of study into practice. If you are looking for a comprehensive teacher who will really get down to the how and why of the practice material as well as getting into jamming and improvisation, Paul is the right instructor for you.
Very Patient, Very Kind and Helpful as well as dedicated to helping you with your lessons and sculpting it to what you are need and want.

Paul is great! He's a super kind, skilled teacher that knows what he's talking about and works hard to make the lesson about your interest and skills. Working with Paul, I feel like not only have I become a better piano player but I've learned a lot about music, practicing, and skills that I will take with me. 100% recommend taking lessons with Paul!

Paul is an attentive, thoughtful instructor who has done a great job structuring a program around my interests and needs as a student. He has helped me understand music and practice better at a fundamental level, and I highly recommend him.

Today, Paul saw what I am lacking and was able to come up with a way that will help me improve perpetually and swiftly.
