Private Piano & Keyboard Lessons

Transform Your Learning & Performing

With each piano/keyboard lesson, students increase their hand-eye coordination, aural skills and understanding of music. Additionally, lessons at Matt Safley Music go beyond piano fundamentals!


The program is designed to build confidence, tenacity and creativity as students learn to play, improvise and perform.


Each year, students learn performance preparation and are taught to give feedback through performance opportunities and workshops. Then, their learning is put into action with the opportunity to share their growth and inspire peers through recitals. A transformational experience with a life-altering instrument.
