Ian K. says, "I am an adult student taking piano lessons from Marshal. I have found him to be a great teacher who genuinely understands teaching at its core. He does not simply hand you a textbook and tell you to start on page one as if you are a machine awaiting programming. He instead gauged my current skill level and based off of that determined what to focus on or even to postpone an idea if it wasn't relevant/helping at that moment. If you laid out every lesson I have done with him the focus might seem scattered but I know firsthand it's exactly what I needed at the time and my skill progression has felt nothing but smooth and natural through his teachings."

Welcome to Take Root Piano! I have been at the piano for over 17 years and have taught for 4 years. I love helping students discover how fun and rewarding music can be. Piano has become a huge light in my life, and I’ve found that learning and practicing a skill like this can spill over and make every part of life better. Taking Root is all about building a strong foundation. Just like a tree, music grows best when it has deep, steady roots — and that’s exactly what I want for my students: skills and confidence that last a lifetime. In lessons, I put a big emphasis on sight-reading and accompanying (whether for yourself or others). These sk

Hi my name is Mercy and I love playing the piano! I started playing the piano when I was 5 years old and I really enjoy helping young kids learn to play too! I believe that playing any instrument can be extremely beneficial to a child's development and is a great enrichment opportunity. From my own personal experience learning the piano is a perfect starting point to learn about playing and reading music because once one learns how to play a rhythm and read sheet music you can play almost any instrument! I played the clarinet and the saxophone also!

Reviews for Richmond classical piano lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Richmond area.
Rameez S.
Marshal is a great teacher. My son is getting home lessons and I am quite happy with his progress. Marshal understands my child and tries new techniques at his level. Marshal listens to my child and talks to him which makes it easier for him to learn. Marshal is a decent man who talks less but makes sure he is working hard. Would definitely recommend him!

My 7 year old son started taking piano lessons with Joey this summer. He is very knowledgable, flexible, my son loves taking lessons with him and is learning a lot. The setup is great and we have been able to have virtual piano lessons during the pandemic. He also provides recordings of each lesson. Highly recommend!
