Description:

For more than fifteen years, I've been imparting private piano and music theory lessons. Over the years, I've instructed a diverse group of students ranging from kids, adults to individuals with various backgrounds and degrees of proficiency. My lessons cover a range of skills, including performance, technique, music reading, articulation, music theory, composition, and improvisation. I offer instruction on both classical and jazz methods and cater to students' preferences by teaching pop, rock, jazz, blues, Latin, funk, and other genres. For convenience, I provide in-person lessons at my home studio in Round Rock, as well as online lessons via Skype.

As an adult learner without any prior experience in music, I was hesitant to enroll in lessons. However, I am thrilled that I discovered Taylor and decided to take the plunge. It has been exhilarating working with him, and my piano learning experience has been enjoyable. I appreciate his instructional style, which combines both practical and theoretical aspects. His patience and ability to challenge me without discouragement have kept me engaged. Furthermore, his invaluable tips have significantly enhanced my practice sessions.

I consider myself extremely lucky to have found Taylor, who is an excellent piano teacher, through CrackerJack. After trying out a few teachers online, I was convinced that he was the perfect fit for me. Having studied classical piano throughout high school and college, I had always wanted to be able to play anything, and Taylor knew exactly how to teach me what I needed to achieve that goal. Although my lessons are conducted entirely online, Taylor's ability to pick up on every note without even looking at my keyboard is a true testament to his skill. He is incredibly organized and focused, providing me with technical exercises to strengthen my finger dexterity, theory lessons, and a couple of songs to work on every week. Taylor understands that I am doing this for fun, but his accountability ensures that I always strive for the best results. Additionally, Taylor's positive personality and dedication to both music and his family are inspiring. Our weekly hour together not only improves my playing ability but also enriches my life beyond the piano. If we could all spend more time breaking out of our little bubbles like this, the world would undoubtedly be a better place!

I have been studying with him for more than seven months and he is an amazing teacher. He takes the time to inquire about my objectives and recommends a fitting learning approach. As an utter novice, I find this particularly helpful. He makes efficient use of lesson time and provides reasonable homework. I attend in-person classes at his location, where he provides a decent piano for me to practice on. I am presently continuing to learn from him.
