Austin Adult Piano Lessons
Hi, I'm Chris,
Make piano progress you can hear—with personal guidance, group inspiration, and learning that feels like pure joy.
You’ve wanted to take piano lessons for years...
Maybe you took piano lessons years ago and still play a little, but you'd love to do more—enjoy favorite songs and share music with family and friends.
You want to keep your mind sharp, your curiosity alive, and enjoy life to the fullest as you age.
And learning alongside other adults makes it even richer: challenging your mind, building meaningful connections, and discovering the joy of making music together.
The unexpected magic of taking piano lessons with a small group of adults.
Aging Well Never Sounded So Good.
After watching her sister develop Alzheimer’s, one student chose group piano lessons as a meaningful way to keep her mind active, challenged, and growing.
And in an increasingly lonely world, what if you could challenge your brain, lift your spirits, and build genuine connections—all through the joy of making music together?
Being imperfect starts to feel completely normal.
There’s something freeing about watching another smart, capable adult miss a note, experiment, laugh, and keep going. You realize pretty quickly that everyone is learning.
Goodbye pressure. Hello breathing room.
One-on-one can feel like a ticking metronome and a teacher watching every mistake.
Here, I’ll guide you, then you’ll put on headphones and settle into the music. Space to explore. Help close by.
I always come home feeling uplifted, and it’s such a relief to not think about life for an hour… Having something in my calendar that I look forward to every week has been really important for my mental health.

About Chris
Curiosity led me to surprising connections between movement, learning, and music. I went from “not talented enough” to winning competitions, joining prestigious ensembles, and working with a Juilliard teacher and well-known musicians.
Yet getting better for external rewards felt empty. I’d lost touch with the joy of music for its own sake.
Finding my way back taught me how to keep the spark alive. I bring that into your lessons, so piano class becomes a highlight of your week and life-long source of growth and joy.
“I’m 69. I was a bit reluctant to sign up for Chris’s group piano lessons, but I let go of my fears long enough to discover this is exactly what I was looking for. Chris gives me helpful advice on handling mistakes, but we don’t linger on them. What a big old breath of fresh air!”

A Different Kind of Piano Studio...
A Different Kind of Piano Studio...
Curiosity over correction
Mistakes aren’t just things to eliminate; they’re information. You learn to listen, experiment, notice what happened, and try something different instead of freezing when something goes wrong.
Your body is part of the instrument
Playing piano is movement. Without movement, there is no sound. We use awareness and experimentation to help those movements become easier, more coordinated, and more responsive—so making the sound you want feels less like forcing and more like playing.
You learn how to learn
Rather than always telling you what to fix, I help you develop tools for listening, troubleshooting, adapting, and figuring things out for yourself.
The goal isn’t simply to learn more songs. It’s to become a more capable, curious, independent musician who knows how to keep learning, keep growing, and enjoy the process along the way.
Your Weekly Hour of Piano Joy
The class is great because if I don't get to practice the week leading up, I'm not beating myself up since we have time in class to practice, after class, I feel inspired to keep practicing ”

Do I need any piano experience?
Nope. Complete beginners are very welcome. If you’ve played before, we’ll meet you where you are.
Do I need a piano at home before I start?
No. Many students start with a small keyboard and upgrade later. You’ll be guided on what works best for your space and budget.
Am I too old to start?
Absolutely not. This studio is built specifically for adults, including people starting piano for the very first time later in life.
Do you work with busy adults who don’t have a lot of practice time?
Yes — lessons are designed for adults with careers, families, and full schedules. You’ll still make progress with as little as 10–15 minutes of practice a few times per week.
Do you offer evening or weekend lessons?
Afternoon, evening lessons & Sundays.
Do you teach singer-songwriters?
Yes — you’ll love how piano and voice can be interweaved so there is less over thinking and more full-expressing
Do you do recitals? Are they required?
You'll get weekly opportunities! Think of it as sharing music with friends, not a high-stress recital. You'll play in a group, which is way less pressure than solo recital (and also provides the best performance practice BEFORE doing solo recitals!)
When are Classes/Lessons offered?
Classes & Lessons are offered all day Sunday, and afternoons into the evenings Mon-Wed.
