I have been a full-time piano teacher for 40 years. I have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to share the gift of music with so many people. I have played professionally, taught music in an elementary school, and in 1973 stated my own School of Piano. I teach classical piano, theory and ccomposition. I also teach other styles of music including blues and jazz, playing using lead sheets (playing using chords), playing by ear and learning to write your own music. My specialty is teaching students who are burned out on traditional piano instruction. My biggest compliment is to hear that former students own a piano and play regularl...

Devyn M. says, "Thomas has continued to educate me on everything from the ground up and really flush out the roadmap of how to be a better pianist. he also always takes the time to answer any questions and help me understand anything I'm curious about. His teaching style is very diverse and makes everything a bit more comprehensible, especially for someone new to the entire theory side of things. I have learned more in the 6 weeks I've been learning from him than I did in a year of self study. I cannot recommend him enough for any level of piano player, whether brand new or experienced.

As a beginner - adult student (age39) Linda Pearl Allen is the best. She is such a pleasure to work with! She is very knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely patient. She starts by creating lessons based on your induvial weakness/interest, and then advance from there. Working full time I love that her schedule is very flexible also. Over the years I've tried to teach myself thru self taught books and videos, and would often get distracted and overwhelmed. Having that person to person interaction with Linda helps me stay focus and makes learning the piano simple and fun. I've always had a passion to learn the piano/keyboards and it's nice to see it actually evolving Thanks to Linda!

Susan Traylor provided a comfortable atmosphere during piano lessons. Playing with Susan was relaxing and not intimidating in the slightest. She was incredibly personable as well as kind and informative, making every lesson wonderful. She has also years of experience, which was demonstrated through her teaching and piano playing as a whole.

"I first met Bjorn about 8 years ago when he started teaching my then 10 year old son. Fast forward to today, and as my son goes off to college, he is as gifted in piano as he is in alto saxophone, and I attribute Bjorn’s instructional style for keeping my son interested in playing both instruments concurrently. Bjorn has been a great teacher, mentor, and friend throughout the years, and I am very thankful for his tremendous influence in cultivating my son’s keyboard talent. I am completely amazed when I hear my son play so many piano pieces today – many without even looking at the sheet music anymore – and I can thank Bjorn Hanson for giving my son that musical gift."
