THE JOY OF MAKING MUSIC

THE JOY OF MAKING MUSIC

Supportive and encouraging, I guide you step-by-step toward mastery of the keyboard, empowering you to explore every style of music and develop your music reading ability and hand technique.

Lessons are tailored to your individual strengths, challenges, and interests.

The learning process is streamlined by removing obstacles and moving forward at an unforced pace.

Adult Piano Lessons

Are you an adult beginner who is secretly wondering if it is too late to develop a fluent command of piano technique and repertoire? Let me assure you, it is never too late for adults to gain significant ability at the keyboard.

If you took piano lessons in childhood but have not played for many years, your youthful efforts have not been lost. The motor-coordination skills learned in childhood are still part of your neurological system and are waiting to be reactivated for continuing musical development.

“I started piano lessons at age 5 and stopped cold at age 12. With great sensitivity, patience, and creativity, Jonathan Baker helped me get back on track as a pianist after decades away from the instrument. From our first lesson, his warm manner and courtesy put me at ease. He has taken my aspirations seriously and encouraged me, while creating the appropriate program to develop my skills. Working with Mr. Baker has been a delight.”

  • I've had many music teachers, from private lessons to college professors, but your methods rank the highest. Your ability to articulate solutions, remain patience, and provide positive feedback makes the learning process a success. It's rare to find someone that has both great playing and teaching ability.

  • I was fortunate to be taking piano lessons with Jonathan. I never played piano and started my lessons with him and after two years, I am able to play some of my favorite tunes. He is a great teacher and he communicates not only with the piano key but also on personal level. He makes me feels like I can do things I was not able to do and he gives hundred percent of himself to the student. It’s always been a pleasure to have a lesson with him and I am for ever greatfull for helping me to follow my dream. I do personally recommend him. He is the best piano teacher I know.
