About
Piano Lessons by Paul Burd
Professional Musician & Music Teacher
Member of the Music Teachers' Association of California
Nationally Certified Teacher of Music from American College of Musicians and National Guild of Piano Teachers
I'm a professional Musician and Music Teacher with over 30 years of experience teaching music to children and adults. As a classically educated and trained instructor with a College degree in music education, I also have extensive experience in arranging and recording music in different genres: Blues, Jazz, Rag, Pop, and Rock.
I am truly passionate about helping others discover their musical talents and experience the joy that comes from creating and performing music.
I love sharing my knowledge and experience with my students, whether they are very young, somewhere in between, or adults who are just beginning their musical journey. It is a particular pleasure to teach adult beginners, especially those who have always dreamed of playing the piano and approach their lessons with great enthusiasm. The most rewarding part of teaching is witnessing the progress of all my students and seeing the excitement they feel when they achieve success in their studies.
