About

Lessons take place in the center of the great city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, in Dr. Kingma’s inviting home studio. Conveniently located near the intersection of 61st and Sheridan, the Kingma Piano Studio is easily accessible to all of Tulsa and the surrounding cities like Bixby, Broken Arrow, Owasso, and more!

Piano lessons with Dr. Kingma are personalized to each student. He uses a variety of quality musical materials to both engage the student’s artistic imagination and develop proper technique and musicianship from the very beginning. As an experienced concert pianist with years of experience teaching students of all levels, he demonstrates every concept and equips his students to effectively practice at home.

Beginners are taught to utilize the whole keyboard and not to get used to playing in a single hand position, thus preparing them for more advanced works quickly. Reading notes is learned at the student’s pace, along with learning songs by ear and demonstration to build confidence and develop proper listening skills.

Intermediate students are given personalized repertoire and etudes to continue their technical and musical development. Scales and other exercises are taught in order to build a proper technique and prepare students for more advanced repertoire. Students learn the performance style of various composers and musical eras.

Advanced students are given more challenging works, and encouraged to enter competitions for the purpose of refinement. They are encouraged to explore the repertoire and develop a discerning taste in interpretation, resulting in a lifelong love of great music.

All students are taught music theory and artistry from the very first lesson.

    Dr. Kingma is an incredible teacher. I studied with him for four years, during both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Piano Performance, and he completely transformed me as a pianist. He knows exactly how to help with any technical problem, but the focus is always on the music and how to make every moment as beautiful as possible. He listens carefully and is able to articulate very specifically what needs improvement, both in the details and in regards to the whole. He is encouraging, gracious, and inspires students to work to the best of their ability by setting high standards. Dr. Kingma is the best teacher I have ever worked with and I would highly recommend him to any pianist wanting to study seriously.

    I couldnt ask for a better teacher than Dr. Kingma for my daughter. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and detailed in lessons. Most importantly, he sees where she could be in the future and how to get her there. She is progressing so much, is finally content, and Ive never seen her happier.

    Professor Kingma is a masterful pianist and outstanding teacher. He has a great gift to identify for students exactly what elements of their play to refine right now.
    He selects pieces carefully so students have the best opportunity to focus on the next milestone of their musical achievement and he inspires a desire for perfection.
    Dr Kingma additionally kindles in students a vigorous appreciation for the essential ideas and beauty in their music and a reflection on how to bring these ideas to life through thoughtful and precise play.
    He is also very kind, personable, and pleasant and easy to work with.
