Piano Lessons

 
 
 

Whether you want to give your child a strong musical foundation, prepare them for RCM exams, or take up a gratifying new hobby yourself, tailor-made lessons with Gary Forbes Music are perfect for you.

Learning to play the piano is often considered a fundamental musical skill.

The versatility of this instrument makes it a wonderful stepping stone to other instruments as well as music theory and history. It’s a great place to start and an even better place to stay, but I might be biased!

Piano lessons are a wonderful way to build confidence, train oft-neglected parts of the brain, and best of all — they’re fun!

Testimonials - Lessons

"Watching Gary work with my children is an absolute joy. He takes the time to talk to them, and he listens so closely to their playing. His feedback and suggestions are spot-on because he understands them as people as well as musicians."

-Parent of Gary Forbes Music Students

"When I worked with Gary it was as fun as it was productive.”

-Student of Gary Forbes Music

"When I am playing with Gary he isn't just there to play with me, he's there to teach me about the piece and how to better myself as a musician."

-Student of Gary Forbes Music

"It's hard for me to fully put into words how genuinely blessed and lucky I feel to have Gary as my teacher. Gary is not only very helpful and instructive, he is also one of the most genuine and kind people that I have met. He always manages to make everyone he teaches feel comfortable and confident about their strengths, but is always willing to list where they need to improve in the most constructive way. He is the only piano teacher that I would personally recommend to all of my friends and family, and I wouldn't want anyone else to teach me."

-Student of Gary Forbes Music

"Gary is possibly the best music teacher that I've ever had. His guidance has helped me find my full potential in piano playing. I've learned many musical pieces from baroque to 20th century compositions, and I'm still learning new techniques that make it easier to learn the most complex piano pieces. Gary Always encourages me to learn the pieces I want to learn, and he pushes me to do better with his recommendations. I've had Gary as a teacher for about 8 years and I've enjoyed every minute of it, and I hope there are more years to come."
