The highest rated piano studio in Utah! Learn piano from an expert in West Bountiful.
I teach private piano lessons for children ages 5 to 18 in my studio at 958 West 1950 North in West Bountiful, Utah. Lessons run 60 minutes, once a week, on the school year calendar. Every lesson covers theory, sight reading and technique alongside repertoire. Beginners are welcome, and no prior experience is needed.
Most children who quit piano quit because they hit a ceiling. They learned to play songs by copying, they never learned to read, and around the intermediate level the music got harder than their memory. That is the outcome I built my lessons to prevent.
I have taught piano in Davis County since 1995. I currently have more than 60 students, and my studio holds a 5.0 rating from 37 Google reviews.
My studio is in West Bountiful, and children come to me from across south Davis County:
Lessons are taught in my studio rather than in students' homes, and I teach every lesson myself. There is no rotating roster of instructors, so the teacher your child starts with in first grade is the same teacher preparing them for a recital in high school. Several of my current families have been with me for eight, ten and twelve years.
Five is the earliest age I take students, and it is early enough for most children. By five, most kids have the finger independence to play with separate hands and the attention span to hold a structured lesson. Starting earlier rarely accelerates anything; starting at seven or eight is completely normal and those students often catch up within a year.
What actually predicts whether a child does well is not the starting age. It is three things:
A child who starts at eight with those three things will pass a child who started at five without them.
Most studios in this area teach children in 30-minute blocks. I teach 60, and the difference is where the learning happens.
In a 30-minute lesson, a teacher hears last week's piece, assigns the next one, and the student goes home to work out the notes alone. Most of the week's practice is spent decoding, often incorrectly, and the next lesson gets spent undoing it.
In a 60-minute lesson there is time to start the new piece in the studio. The student leaves already able to play it, so the week at home is spent improving rather than deciphering. That single change is the reason my students progress faster than their practice time alone would explain.
The hour also makes room for the parts that get cut when time is short:
Performing is not an add-on here. It is a normal part of the year, and it is the main reason students stay at the piano past the age most kids stop.
None of it is compulsory. All of it is available.
Yes, though not in the way the marketing usually claims. Learning to read music and play with both hands independently is sustained practice in exactly the skills school also demands: holding a plan in mind, sequencing steps, splitting attention, and coming back to something difficult on a schedule rather than only when it feels good.
I do not teach piano as a study aid. But parents consistently tell me the practice habit transfers.
Call 801-718-3682 and tell me your child's age and whether they have played before. I will tell you what times are open and we will find one that fits your week.
Studio hours are Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and Saturday 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Early mornings and Saturday mornings are the two blocks most families never ask about, and they are usually the easiest to get.
Five is the earliest I take students. By five most children have the finger independence and attention span for a structured lesson. Starting at seven or eight is completely normal, and those students usually catch up within a year.
Yes. Most of my students started with me having never touched a piano. No prior experience is needed and there is no entrance assessment.
Sixty minutes, once a week. The extra time lets a student start each new piece in the studio, so their practice at home is spent improving rather than working out notes.
At my studio, at 958 West 1950 North in West Bountiful. I do not travel to students' homes.
An acoustic piano, or a digital with 88 weighted keys and a pedal that attaches to the cabinet rather than a plastic pedal on a cord. A 61-key keyboard will hold a student back within about six months.
Consistency beats duration at every level. Fifteen focused minutes six days a week will outpace an hour once a week, and it is not close.
