Student Benefits
In my music studio, taking piano lessons is not just about being able to play the piano well – it’s also about growing a strong technique, confident sightreading skills, powerful musical interpretation, and a love of music that carries you through the rest of your life!
Piano Lessons by Paul Burd
I love passing on my knowledge and experience to my students, both very young, in between, and also have the pleasure of teaching many adult students, some who are starting as complete beginners, with great enthusiasm, telling me that they had always dreamed of being able to play the piano. The best thing of all is to watch the progress of all of my students, and to see the excitement it brings to them, to achieve such success in their studies.

As My Student
Learning to play piano is one of the most rewarding and enjoyable things you could ever choose to do.
As my student, you will learn to play various styles of music, including Classical, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Pop, and will be instructed in a variety of technical studies for the development of strength and dexterity, along with the fundamentals of music theory, sight reading, and ear training. You will learn to play modern pop and rock piano songs, build improvisational skills, and do your own arranging and songwriting. Read more
Kids Piano Lessons
I believe that every child is gifted with untapped potential and so we nurture and develop each child’s capability with personalized lessons to get the most of their unique artistic skills and qualities.
I will teach your child how to practice their pieces and technical work in between lessons. This is how I encourage self-directed learning and empower your child to practice effectively. Performing their pieces during regular lessons allows your child to perform in a safe, low pressure environment. This sets them up to perform with ease and confidence during assessments, examinations, family gatherings and concerts.
Adult Piano Lessons
Taking music lessons as an adult is great if you want to bond with your children, or have a productive hobby that stimulates your mind and fingers. Music making makes adults healthier. There are significant decreases in anxiety, depression, and loneliness following music lessons. These are factors that are critical in coping with stress, stimulating the immune system, and in improved health. So, if you have been thinking of taking up piano or any musical activity after all these years… it looks like it’s a great idea!
