Tad Suzuki Piano Studio

The goal of my studio is to teach the students how to enjoy obtaining the skill of being able to create beautiful melodies from playing the piano in a way that is most rewarding and effective for them. I will coach and guide you to the feelings of accomplishment and joy that come with learning how to play beautiful music on the piano.

My studio is located in the heart of Chicago's Loop. I have been teaching classical piano music as well as improvisations for cocktail lounge style piano music. I'm looking forward to teaching any age students, beginner to advance levels.

My lessons include:

- Artistic Piano Technique for All Ages and Backgrounds

- Classical Repertoires

- Jazz, Cocktail Music, Bossa Nova, Ragtime, Show-tune Repertoires for fun during the summer time.

- Performance Preparations for Student Recitals

- Music Theory

- Solfege - Pitch and Sight Singing Training

- Sight Reading
