Teaching piano is my passion. I teach all levels and age groups (4-85). I have a Masters of Music in Piano Performance from George Mason University and also studied privately at Peabody Institute and with renowned concert pianists in Washington DC, Austria, and Germany. I performed at the Kennedy Center, the French Embassy, and many local venues.

Reviews for Washington classical piano lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Washington area.
Arina
Ideal instructor in so many way! Able to tailor lessons to my particular needs and tastes (mostly baroque) though he encourages me to push beyond my meager abilities. As an aging baby boomer myself, I am so happy to find someone who has allowed me to accomplish a lifelong dream: to play better than I did when I took lessons as a kid. Joe emphasizes good technique but still makes lessons fun. Definitely 5 stars!
