“I'm one of JP's adult students -- first piano lesson ever at age 62!
I can vouch for not only JP's extensive knowledge of music and amazing gift for playing the piano, but his extraordinary patience and gentleness with someone who doesn't always catch on all that fast. I have only positive things to say about the experience of learning from him! "

“I enjoy my piano lessons with Mr. JP because they are fun and accessible. After school I can just head home instead of going to a studio or house. It’s more comfortable at my own keys!"

Alice
“JP's piano lessons have been a lifesaver to me because I had not taken piano lessons for well over a decade before working with him. His ability to explain and teach techniques is outstanding, and he ensures that playing the keys is fun from day one. JP's teaching style is engaging and that personally makes it motivating to me to learn more and keep improving each day. If you're looking for a piano teacher who not only educates but inspires you to reach your potential and goals for piano, JP is the perfect choice. You will see great progress in your abilities as a pianist. I highly recommend his courses!”

"JP is the total package - he is not only an incredible teacher and musician, but is also super kind, patient and has the experience and emotional understanding to be quickly tuned into his student's potential stepping stones and roadblocks. I am a parent of one of his students. I am currently learning guitar, but after hearing about these courses he's developed I think I might have to add keyboard!"

How to Get Your Fingers Flying!
Stretching Lesson
This first lesson is arguably the most important lesson to master on your way to becoming a proficient pianist and overall musician. If you can unlock your body, the instrument becomes a much more attainable venture. In this lesson I’ll show you the most important stretches so you can unlock your body which IS the instrument!
Crucial Exercises Part 1
Here are my favorite exercises required for every student to master. I still use these warmups when getting ready for my own performances!
Crucial Exercises Part 2
Part two is a continuation of the last lesson… crucial exercises that every pianist should have mastered.
Scales
This lesson is a breakdown of everything you need to know about playing scales. We’ll look at 1 and 2 octave scales, parallel and contrary motion and also include a chromatic scale.
Strength Building
More of my favorite exercises that help build finger strength. We’ll also start to prepare for more advanced exercises by learning to open up the hands beyond the 5th position.
Triads and Inversions
This lesson is the gateway to sounding like a seasoned pro. Here we’ll delve into the art of reconfiguring voicings beyond root position triads, and witness your playing soar to new heights. With these essential skills in your arsenal, you'll effortlessly transform your sound, bridging the gap between beginner and professional pianist.
Cadence Patterns
In this lesson, we'll delve into the concept of common tones and apply our newfound inversions skills. As pianists, we gradually recognize the importance of mastering repetitive motions. These fundamental movements are essential to our growth, and I'll guide you through a practice method designed to solidify your understanding both visually and aurally.
Alternate Fingerings and Adding Octaves
In this lesson, I’ll show you how to apply alternate fingerings by learning some gospel progressions and then I’ll teach you how to add octaves onto your triads to give you that Billy Joel and Elton John sound!
7 Chords
In this lesson I’ll introduce some of my favorite ways of introducing and practicing 7 chords. We’ll work them up the chromatic scale both blocked and arpeggiated and then move into inverting 7 Chords up and down the piano. If you can get all the way through these exercises, there won’t be much else that can stump you along your journey. Master these and you’re going to be ready for just about anything that comes your way!
