Nicolas Pellon Piano Studio

Students here receive a thorough, classical training—that is to say, I do not simply "teach songs". Of course I train the fingers, but also the ears, the mind, and musical sensibilities, so that the student learns to understand what he/she is doing and why. I teach process, so that the student becomes independent. Ultimately, it is my job to put myself out of a job.

Unlike much of the music instruction one finds today, my teaching is tailored to each student's individual needs. I do not teach from a method, or from a series of books. I teach according to artistic and pædagogical principles that I have acquired from my own teachers Mimi Tung, Santiago Rodriguez, and Edward Auer; my formal education at Maryland, Indiana, and numerous summer festivals; and the artists whose teaching I both received personally, and witnessed in dozens of masterclasses and lessons that shaped my development, in particular Rebecca Penneys, Tamara Sanikidze, Andreas Poulimenos, and János Starker.

Every student benefits from this approach: the young child whose parents want to expose him/her to music, the driven young person ambitious to pursue a career in music, the curious adolescent, the adult looking to continue a rewarding hobby, and anyone in between.

I offer a FREE TWO WEEK TRIAL/AUDITION PERIOD. This allows you to see how things work here, see if you like it, and if you want to sign up. It also allows me to evaluate the student over the course of a few lessons so that I can determine if the student will be a good fit here, and so I can recommend the best course of study.
