I'm a mid to late beginner on piano. As an advanced amateur violin/viola player, I'm familiar with some aspects of music. I wanted to play piano music that incidentally did not have printed fingerings. Learning piano fingering strategies requires the knowledge & experience of an excellent pianist, sympathetic & patient teacher: Aaron. By submitting my best guesses to his Monday Q&A, I learn a great deal about fingering & many other aspects of piano playing, practice & music in general.

I was a motivated but frustrated self-taught pianist, learning from YouTube and unsure how to diagnose my own problems. I hesitated to commit to coaching for cost and time reasons, but Aaron built a plan that fit my life. Between asynchronous check-ins, private lessons, and KLPC classes, my playing improved fast enough that family and friends noticed. Pieces I thought were out of reach now feel like real goals. If you’re curious and serious about progress, I highly recommend working with Aaron!

Being part of this community has been incredibly inspiring. The site resources have given me tools I now use everywhere. A huge win has been reconnecting with the strong foundation I built as a kid and finally learning how to apply that knowledge independently as an adult. I feel more in control, more aware, and much more confident in how I solve problems at the piano. I’m so grateful for the quality and care shown in the teaching and the supportive community here.

Aaron's strategy for challenging my daughter Isabel far beyond her capability even after she is comfortable with a section is a game-changer. After he pushes past her limits and shows her new skills, she is able to deconstruct what she is doing and resolve the issues on her own. Then the challenging sections become easy in comparison!

With KLPC, I learned more in one week than in two weeks with a private teacher, as Aaron is highly informative, ensures you achieve your goals, and helps establish a solid, structured practice routine that works in your schedule.
