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
