Bajon Piano Studio

About

Bajon Piano Studio, an award-winning school with over twenty years of experience, provides high-quality lessons with a professional piano teacher trained in classical music performance and education. At Bajon Piano Studio, authentic piano technique is a foundation for playing without technical obstacles. If not taught correctly, these challenges are the most common reason for kids wanting to quit piano. Depending on your goals and needs, Bajon Piano Studio provides light and easy piano playing lessons. It also prepares more serious students to play classical music repertoire for recitals and competitions if a child displays interest and exceptional musical talent.

Teaching piano is my passion in life. I teach all levels of adults, kids as young as three and a half, children with learning challenges, and those who aspire to become professional pianists. I am very committed to teaching music and instilling the discipline needed for high concentration. I love mixing discipline with humor when presenting new material. Kids are like diamonds that need to be polished to shine. I love this aspect of my job: seeing how they open up and become their best. Etiquette, good manners, and stage presence are essential at Bajon Piano Studio. I created "healthy silent competitions" for my students. I aim to teach them how to become responsible, attentive, and accountable for their actions. Teaching music professionally is not the only goal for me. I understand the responsibility of guiding and shaping the children; giving them direction, immersing them in the culture of music, visual arts, and architecture, so that they will be equipped to become the best, well-rounded individuals in the future.

We cant thank Margaret Bajon enough for the incredible role she has played in our daughters classical music journey over the past 6 years! Margaret has her unique approach in teaching that will make even the challenging pieces easy to play. With her, our daughter developed not only impressive piano skills but also confidence and a true passion for classical music. Margaret is more than a teacher, she is a mentor who has made a lasting impact. Needless to say the piano studio is absolutely beautiful with a gorgeous Steinway and Sons baby grand piano! We highly recommend Bajon Piano Studio to anyone looking for an exceptional piano teacher!

Ms. Bajon is simply the best!

Frequently asked questions

What is your typical process for working with a new student?

I sit beside each student, carefully guiding them and ensuring their technique is impeccable from the very first notes they play. Every instruction is thoughtfully tailored to meet the individual needs of each student. For me, quality always takes precedence over quantity. I never rush through the material—once a strong foundation is in place, advancing through new repertoire becomes smooth and efficient.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Masters degree in piano performance and education

Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.

I do not believe that 30-minute lessons are sufficient. Playing homework itself takes about 20 minutes. There is very little one can learn in 10 minutes and expect any decent outcome for the money. Bajon Piano Studio provides long-term outcomes and solid learning based on minimum 60-minute lessons with standard fees for everyone regardless of age and level.

How did you get started teaching?

Teaching piano has been my lifelong passion. I began my career working with university-level students and, over the years, expanded my expertise to include all levels—embracing even the most challenging beginners with dedication and care.

What types of students have you worked with?

I worked with students as young as three and a half, up through high school, and graduate students working on their Master's and doctoral degrees. I teach kids with learning challenges, as well as adults.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.

I cherish our two annual recitals. At the end of the school year, students perform and receive trophies, medals, and diplomas. Hearing them play so beautifully brings a smile to my face, but it’s the tears of pride and joy in their eyes that truly melt my heart.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?

Bajon Piano Studio is the best piano program for those who want to get the most for their money. You will learn to play piano with the proper, authentic piano technique, which will benefit your playing throughout your entire life.

What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?

What is your purpose for taking piano lessons? Do you simply want to enjoy playing light, familiar tunes at home for family and friends, or are you aiming to study more serious classical repertoire? Be clear about your goals and communicate them to your teacher. It’s equally important to ask about the teacher’s background—what was their major in college? You deserve guidance from a qualified professional who can help you make the most of your time and investment. If you are seeking top-quality instruction, don’t hesitate to ask whether the school or teacher has received recognition in high-level competitions.
