Welcome to my Piano Lessons Studio!

Lessons online has proven to be equally as effective as in-person lessons for children and adults alike. There is no real difference, it is just another means of "meeting up". I now have many online students who live in different cities around the world who solely have their lessons online.

​​"My daughter Zoe (age 9) has been Paul Burd’s student for three years. She has made tremendous progress under his instruction, often impressing friends and family with her playing. Mr.Burd is a fantastic musician who demands and expects his students to excel. As a piano student as a child, I've been surprised to find out just how much my teacher did not know! I would highly recommend Mr. Burd for piano lessons."

"My 2 kids (ages 7 and 9) are taking piano lessons from Paul Burd. We switched from another piano teacher about 6 months ago and the difference in both of my childrens' ability is substantial. I am simply amazed at what my kids can do on the piano with Paul as our piano teacher. Paul Burd is an excellent piano teacher. I recommend Paul Burd to anyone who wants to learn or improve their skill on the piano."        Daymon V.

THE MUSIC LESSONS STUDIO​

Music instruction is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself or your child. I want to help you achieve your goals as a piano player and I have started my studio with the vision of creating high-quality piano lessons that inspire people to learn and share the gift of music.

In the many years that I’ve been playing and teaching piano, I’ve found that people improve fastest when they’re learning music that really interests them.​​ As my student, you will learn various styles of music, including ​Classical, Jazz, Blues, Pop, Rock, and you will be instructed in a variety of technical studies for the development of strength and dexterity.​        Read More

Which age would online piano lessons be suitable for? 

Online learning does not work very well with very young children because they find it harder to focus and really need a three-dimensional reality; relying on receiving information via a fairly small screen embedded in their home is not the most functional solution for the youngest. But It normally does work very well with children from the age of approximately 7 years as well as teenagers and adults.

Q. How do I setup a trial lesson?

Music lessons provide a wide range of benefits.
Music grows new connections in the brain. Because of the way our two hands are used, playing the piano develops these connections better than any other instrument. Piano study improves math skills, coordination, and multi-level thinking. Students slowly develop independence of the hands, and the ability for each hand to perform a completely different action in coordinated unison.

Studies show music lessons help develop concentration, coordination and self-discipline. Music lessons improve test scores, cognitive development, math and reading abilities, self-esteem. 

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!
