AboutĀ me

Hi, Iā€™m Jim! I canā€™t wait to help you achieve a more balanced practice routine and happiness at the piano.Ā 

After teaching music for over 32 years, I have seen and heard many common problems that learners run into. Knowing that not "one-size-fits-all." I have quite a large teaching toolbox to help adult learners succeed. Grass roots piano YouTube channel has grown over 20,000 subscribers within two years! I am thrilled to meet so many wonderful adult learners from around the world!

I specialize in helping adults, learn and fall in love with the piano, but my teaching experience is from age 5 all the way up to 85! I have a BFA and music, education and an MFA and percussion.Ā 

I live in the north east USA with my wife, Bridget, my 10-year-old son Myles and my besties Pepper and Frankie! (Pepper and Frankie are rescue dogs. Breed: herding mixes.Ā
