About

I have been a full-time professional teacher and performer for over 30 years. My primary goal is to ensure your success! This is achieved through a balanced and sound approach in a non-stressful fun environment. I am very patient and flexible. I can and love to teach all ages (and variety of styles) from beginning to advanced and from young to senior adults. I teach out of my professional home studio equipped with a very nice Steinway grand. My website is www.apianist.com. My professional recording website is www.garyschmidtmusic.com. You can also find many videos of me on YouTube!

There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a student's desire to experience the joy of learning music fulfilled. Love to chat about the possibilities:) Gary

    I have been taking lessons from Gary for about five years. There are a lot of teachers if you just want to play the piano but if you want to be the very best that you are capable of being then you should sign up for lessons with Gary. He has a lifetime of experience and has played venues all over the world. I do not believe you will find a better teacher and coach.

    Gary is one of the most patient teachers I have worked with. He has been providing piano lessons to our family for the past 5 years. My oldest daughter is now in her 2nd year as Music performance student at CSU and Gary has helped advise/guide her career choice as well as provide a solid base in piano skills which have been essential to her success as a musician. I have two other daughters who are current students. Gary is able to connect with each of their very different personalities and motivates each of them keep up their progress. I started taking lessons with Gary last year and now I have the confidence to play at our church on a regular basis. I have significantly improved my skills and he has helped me dampen my fear of solo piano performance. His approach with students uses gentle encouragement and he helps them find a personal connection to the music they play. He is an asset to our community.

    Gary is a supportive teacher who is able to help me progress by suggesting works that are challenging, interesting and within my ability. I also like that he does remote lessons via Skype if needed. Highly recommended for kids or adults.

    Frequently asked questions

    I'm a very flexible teacher and know that every student is unique. By talking and interacting with the student I can get to know their learning styles better. 

    I charge on a monthly tuition system. 92.00 for the weekly 30 minute, 132.00 for the 45 minutes

    I have been a full-time professional pianist and teacher for over 30 years after graduating from the world Conservatory of Music in Toronto.

    I have worked with students of all ages and levels from age 5 to retired adults. Enjoy teaching beginners as well as advanced students!

    Got to play at Carnegie Hall last fall and also my latest CD original piano music has been in the top 10 in Europe now for 4 months straight. So lucky!
