About Jack
I am a 27-year-old dedicated classical pianist and piano teacher passionate about helping students achieve their musical goals. I have degrees in psychology and music from the University of Washington, have been playing seriously since I was nine, and have been teaching piano to students of all levels and ages for the last two years. My deep classical training and patient friendly demeanor make me especially well suited for teaching: kids beginner adults, Intermediate to advanced pianists interested in classical music - especially Bach As a teacher, I foster an approachable and student-centered teaching style, with one of my main aims being to make learning piano fun, and helping students play songs they love as quickly as possible. I have extensive training with elite classical musicians, most recently completing a one-on-one mentorship program with concert pianist Aaron Pilsan in Berlin, Germany. I am also trained in jazz and highly proficient in pop and other genres and can help students whose interests lie outside of classical music.

English
Starting from the first lesson I will ask you about your goals and interest in piano, and ask you for a list of songs you like in order to personalize our lessons together such that they will best help you reach your goals and be as engaging as possible.
If you are a beginner, I work with you on lesson and theory books, supplementing my own material when appropriate so that my lessons are tailored to your individual needs.
When you are intermediate to advanced, we will work on the finer details of proper technique, interpretation, and effective practice - ensuring that you have the right strategies for achieving your musical goals.

Jack was an awesome instructor! Very knowledgeable, patient, and fun. He broke down the basics and gave me great suggestions for lesson books I can practice outside of class too. Highly recommend him as a teacher!!
I worked with Jack for almost a year, remotely, before his travels. He is a great instructor with a strong focus on fundamentals. When I approached him, I would consider myself advanced beginner or an early intermediate. Within a day he had highlighted some of my weakness in meter and dynamics. Over time we focused down on certain pieces. I pushed him towards Czerny, he pushed me towards Chopin. In the end, he valued pushing me towards completion of pieces that both were at the limit of my ability and those that were comfortable to read and play. He has an advanced knowledge of theory, especially harmonic theory and the building of chords often in relationship to Jazz, though he and I were studying classical. He was able to answer most my questions on theory. Only when I started doing my own compositions and asking him questions about compositional theory "Where should I mark bows up or down on the violas?" did I reach the limits of his musical knowledge. His technique is strong. A focus on technical pieces by Bach, Liszt, and Chopin has lead him to deep understanding of the physicality of the piano. A musician that listens with his ears as well as approaching pieces analytically. Happy to recommend.
Amazing instructor and a phenomenal pianist. He's able to take complicated concepts and explain them in a manner that makes it easy for anyone to understand. Super connectable personality, while also being highly professional. Online lessons were easy to set up, and I'm excited for future lessons!
After years of trying to find the right teacher, I’m so happy to have found Jack! Patient, kind, and conscientious are just a few of the great qualities he’s displayed in the months of working together. He’s extremely organized which keeps us on task during our sessions. Progress is through the roof!
