I would like to offer you the opportunity to essentially learn a new language -
MUSIC, and specifically, how to express yourself musically at the piano, whether you have a real acoustic piano or just a keyboard.
I began exploring piano around middle school, with the help of some keyboard knowledge from school
percussion (xylophone, marimba, etc, where I learned to read music). I found the possiblities fascinating
on piano, with the various chords and chord progressions that could be made.
The piano is capable of evoking profound
beauty of various moods and emotions - JOY, or SORROW, or DRAMA, or PEACE, and so on...
Yes, if you are a complete beginner it could take some time to get the music flowing on the piano, also depending on how creative you are,
but with my "CRM" Method, that is, Chord-Rhythm-Melody,
I break down improvising on the piano into just those 3 components that you can practice individually and then learn
to put together to begin to express yourself - drawing from your growing palette/arsenal of chords and rhythms, and then learning
to incorporate melody using the notes of the scale of the key you are in, giving yourself a chance to explore melodic improvisation, with room for mistakes!
If you are interested or have more questions, please give me, Greg Wilson, a call or a text or send me an email:

If you would like to give it a shot and do a first lesson with me (Greg), I teach in person (Wichita, KS) OR I can do online video call lessons through the app of your choice,
although I prefer the 'Zoom' video call app, or Skype.
Rate:
$25 - 30 min lesson
$30 - 45 min lesson
$35 - 1 hour lesson
Try Greg out the first week just paying for that lesson, and if you like it and desire to continue, payments are made monthly (the cost of 4 weekly lessons paid ahead of time). If you miss a week, we can seek to find a makeup time if desired.
If you would like to take online video lessons, please have your device set up at your piano or keyboard and we'll jump in! I will have
my smartphone clipped into a holder that can get a nice bird's eye view of my hands and my keyboard. If you are in the Wichita, KS area, maybe you or your child would like in person lessons! -
