ABOUT US 

​​

Piano is complicated. I graduated with a Master's in Piano Performance - and also studied at the doctorate level - and I can tell you that, even at the highest level, most teachers don’t know what they’re doing. It’s my mission to whittle piano down to a science that ANYONE can learn, at any level, and at (almost) any age. 

Our lessons are for students who are:
  • Curious about piano and learning
  • Frustrated with their lack of progress 
  • Beginners who have no idea where to start or what to do
  • Experienced players looking for more tools and advantages
  • Casual or serious

Whatever your background is, we'll work with you to develop the perfect plan for your unique personality and lifestyle. It's our hope that you individually flourish during your time with us.
Hi there, I'm Warren. My wife, Kate and I founded the Rhapsody Piano Studio in 2010. At that time, I just wanted to earn a paycheck. Since then, it's become my lifelong calling to offer every student the best lesson imaginable.

Despite having some awful experience with piano teachers myself, I'm passionate about teaching and I've loved playing piano since I was a kid. It's my goal to reinvent how students learn piano today.

When I'm not teaching or practicing piano, I love to read, learn and write. My interests are cooking, learning languages and subjects like productivity or business - or ANYTHING (I'm intensely curious). On the weekends, I'm out and about with my wife and doggos, searching for interesting restaurants and cocktails. We also love travelling to foreign places - broadening our world views while enjoying the adventures.

PHILOSOPHY
_____________________________

Rhapsody: a one-movement work that is episodic yet integrated, free-flowing in structure, featuring a range of highly contrasted moods, colour and tonality. An air of spontaneous inspiration and a sense of improvisation make it freer in form than a set of variations.

This is our teaching style in a nutshell. It's important that every student feels free to expressive themselves and learn at their own pace. This approach works especially well for beginning students, a one-size-fits-all approach only blocks imagination. At every lesson, we encourage each student's unique personality and style to shine through.

We don’t focus on theory (we teach it as we go along) and instead concentrate on playing real music as much as possible. Learning to play the piano is like learning how to ride a bike - through action (hands) and experience (trial and error) Even if you're a complete beginner, you will play and read music from the very first lesson.
