Why Choose Our Piano Lessons?

We Are Great for Beginners

Piano basics are easy for kids and adults to learn. We have taught people as young as one year old, and adults as well.

We Make Music Theory Easy To Understand

The linear layout of the notes of the piano makes it a perfect instrument for learning music. We will show you the patterns that make it understandable.

Musicians Should Understand the Piano

If you play another instrument, learning basic piano can give you a new perspective on your music. It can reveal patterns you haven’t noticed and clarify ideas you don’t understand.

Our Goal as Your Teachers

Making Your Lessons Right For You

Piano teachers tend to use strict teaching methods. We do not. We will help you make adjustments. We encourage and challenge our students. We use different strategies for students with different learning styles. When a student doesn’t understand something, we break it down and find different ways to teach it.

Helping You Achieve Progress

We will help you learn beginning piano skills and music theory as fast as possible. With that foundation in place, you will be ready for advanced piano lessons. We will recommend an advanced piano teacher for you.

Helping You Have Fun Playing Piano

Piano teachers tend to have a reputation for taking the fun out of learning music. Not us. Our goal is to make your introduction to piano so fun and exciting that it will have a lifelong impact.

I was nervous to learn guitar as an adult, but am so glad I did and that I chose to learn from Stuart. He is a kind and patient teacher who makes lessons fun and engaging. We learn at a pace that is comfortable for me based on my goals. Lessons are done by Zoom which makes it convenient for my schedule. I have fun each week learning new material and techniques. I love being able to choose songs that I like and submit them to be used for our lessons. I would recommend Stuart for anyone looking to have a personalized, challenging, and encouraging learning experience.

I am 66 years old and I wanted to learn how to play the acoustic guitar. I found Tucson Music Lessons and contacted Stuart Smith about taking lessons and started 5 months ago. Stuart is a fantastic teacher. All lessons are on zoom and it works out wonderfully. I can set up and tune my guitar before lessons start. Stuart is upbeat and has such a positive attitude. He tailors lesson with your abilities and how you are progressing. There are times I feel discouraged and down about my progress, but after lessons I feel better about myself and continuing on. If you are interested in music I would highly recommend Tucson Music Lessons.

The best musical lessons in Tucson by far! My son is a special needs student with a great love of music. Stuart is an amazing and patient teacher, my son looks forward to his music lesson every week, and is learning scales and octaves above and beyond for a child his age. My son is engaged in the lesson the entire time, thanks to the teacher’s enthusiasm and dedication to the learning style of the individual student. Lessons with this music school are so rewarding!!! Very highly recommended!

I’ve been playing guitar on and off for over 40 years, including in a punk band in the early 80’s. I never having had any formal training and my technique left a lot to be desired. In the last two years I had two teachers who helped break my bad habits, but my third teacher, Stuart from Tucson Music Lessons has applied everything I learned and I’m now able play much more confidently and more consistently than before. He makes each lesson enjoyable and tailors the lesson to your needs. In addition to teaching guitar Stuart plays and teaches several instruments and will even join in on drums to bring his teaching full circle. I highly recommend Stuart for not only beginners but also for those who’ve been playing for a while but need a tune up. Highly recommend!

Mr Stuart is by far the most amazing gift to music we could have hoped for. He is extremely patient with our special needs son and has fostered an out of this world love for music in our son. Mr Stuart is a very gifted musician who has a passion for fostering music in the next generation. Our son can't stop talking about his lessons at Tucson Music Lessons and it is the highlight of the week. There will never be enough words for how thrilled we are with Mr Stuart's passion, patience, and drive for inspiring our son. A 5 star rating is far too low for the quality at Tucson Music Lessons, but Google won't let me add more!!!

Stuart has been such an inspirational teacher for both our 11-year-old son (who has autism) and for our 7-year-old daughter (who is neurotypical). He is patient, knowledgeable, flexible, and encourages them to love music and to explore. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Our autistic son has been seeing stuart for over a year now and we are extremely impressed with how much he's learned! Stewart is an exceptional and patient instructor. Not only has our son continually learned how to play a variety of instruments but his fine motor skills as well as pattern recognition skills have all improved! We highly recommend this program to any parent looking to get their children into music.

Our experience with Tucson Music Lessons was fantastic. Our girl has always had a blast going to her music class. On her first visit she was a little nervous but the teacher was so sweet and encouraging she was soon lost in all the fun she was having. She played drums and shakers, played on guitars, and loved singing into a microphone while watching the sound of her voice on a monitor. Very interactive and great for little kids who just need to explore various parts of music. I would highly recommend starting your child out here. I believe they offer instruction for individual instruments as well, I’m excited to see which one my kid connects with. It’s a great musical exposure and fun experience for us all.
