Kevin G.

Hi there, I'm Kevin! I've been a pianist for almost 14 years and my interest in music began at the age of 8 when I would often try to play songs by ear for fun; so for two years I took formal piano lessons before being self taught until the age of 16. In 2019, I began lessons once again, and studied jazz and classical music under jazz pianist Matt Asti. When I received a music scholarship to attend Kutztown University, I joined the music program and studied with renowned classical pianist and educator Maria Asteriadou. There I was fortunate enough to receive multiple awards and scholarships for my musical excellence and studies, graduating summa cum laude in the honors program. My experience at Kutztown enabled me to perform in the top rock and jazz ensembles and even briefly start a band with fellow students to share my love of video game music! I also participated in many different classical ensembles.Though I can teach many different genres of music, I specialize in classical music, jazz, and video game music. As a composing hobbyist, these musical styles greatly influence my own writing style. In addition to performing, my skills also include music notation, DAW composition, transcription, music theory, and ear training. My philosophy of teaching is rooted in a personalized teaching style, willing the best for each student by customizing lessons for each student because everyone is unique, and learns in different ways. Music education isn’t a “one size fits all”! Having been taught in such a personalized way, I know the fruits of this method of teaching well to know it can greatly aid my students. Whether you are just a beginner or a seasoned musician, I can help you expand your musical skills and broaden your musical horizons! I look forward to getting to know you, your musical goals, and learning style; feel free to book a lesson now and get connected right away!
