Learn piano fast from an expert teacher with 20+ years experience
I have been teaching children and adults for the past 20 years. I have worked in public schools as a band instructor, choir director, orchestra director and general music teacher. My private
piano students have enjoyed playing from a wide variety of musical styles from classical to modern. In addition to my own hosted recitals, my students have performed in public venues such as museum lobbies, cultural centers, and I've coached them into successful auditions for musical theater roles.

About Steve P.
4.7
(8)
Steve began his musical journey on the piano as a child, later moving on to explore
clarinet and trumpet in band before discovering the French horn in high school.
Though he earned his bachelor of music in horn performance at CSU, Sacramento, he never gave
up the piano, teaching students and accompanying choirs throughout college, and
earning scholarships for both instruments.
Steve has played for a number of musical groups, from orchestras, chamber
groups and community bands to being a pit musician in musical theater and
opera. This year, he will be joining the William Jessup University Wind
Ensemble and playing horn in that group. For the last several years, Steve has
directed the orchestra at his church, and has also arranged hymns and worship music
for church orchestras and smaller ensembles.
Besides teaching piano and horn, Steve's musical interests include music theory, arranging, composition, piano ensemble playing and ethnomusicology.
