Testimonials
Steve Lewis is an excellent piano teacher--kind, patient and incredibly knowledgeable.
-Kate D.
I already have a Masters in Music, but I feel I learned more from Steve in many ways, perhaps because he made learning interesting and created a compassionate and welcoming space to learn and grow.
-A piano teacher in Oregon
[Our son] was at the point of giving up on piano lessons but once he started working with Steve his desire and love for creating music was sparked again and now, he is on fire and pursuing music as a career in both piano and music production.
