B.A. in Music

4 Repeated Students

Learn improvisation, composition, and performance from a creative with 16 years of experience!

I am an pianist, improviser, composer, and music theory geek. I love jazz, classical, and rock music. Whatever style of music you want to learn, I will show you how to move toward your goals. I love working with adults and kids alike! I can teach basic piano skills and classical technique, and for more advanced students I can teach jazz, improvisation, and composition. For every student, my goal is to make lessons fun by teaching you the music you want to play. I have been playing the piano since preschool and have a B.A. in Music from the University of Minnesota. Playing piano is one of my favorite things to do so I'd have quite a fun time teaching you. What I teach on piano will help you understand a diverse range of instruments and even genres, and, I think, teach lessons that carry over into life.

About Paul K.

4.9

(11)

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!
