BACK TO SCHOOL SPECIAL: 10% off your monthly
tuition, for your first three months! My goal here is to fill
2 open spots on my schedule, as soon as possible (private lessons).
Adult Beginners: It's never too late to pursue your dream to play
an instrument!
My Specialty: I can teach you to improvise piano. Most private
teachers and music schools do not offer this. Learn to create your
own music, in the moment, and have it sound good! You can
learn how. It's easier than you think.

Testimonials
"...I tried out many piano instructors in my area and was very
impressed with the quality of instruction I received from Kent. He is
extremely personable and committed to helping others like myself
enjoy playing the piano. Once you are one of his students, he will
go out of his way to support your learning via phone, email and
anything else you may need to help you progress in musical
goals..."
- Mona R., Irvine
"Kent surprised me with his broad knowledge of music styles,
techniques and theory - classical, jazz, blues, boogie - and his
playing skills. He's patient, uncritical, and always encouraging and
he structures his lesson plans around my musical interests...I like
him personally and know I will learn quickly with him..."
- Paul D., Costa Mesa

What makes Smith Music an excellent choice?
- You can take the traditional path (classical) or a "popular"
path (pop, rock, blues, jazz, etc). You can combine both if
you wish. Most piano schools and teachers offer only the
traditional path (which, in most settings, takes years to
achieve satisfying results).
- Your lessons are customized, based on your goals.
- I try to make it fun!
- I love teaching music. I really do.
- Over 25 years of teaching experience.
About "Chord Piano"
Chord-style musicianship is the fastest and most versatile way to
learn popular piano. This approach to music is also how the pros do
it -- studio musicians, jazz players, blues musicians, pop players,
piano bar players.. If you want to know more, give me a call!
I also give "traditional" lessons, for those who want to learn classical
or "formal" music, and for those who simply want to learn how to
read music.
When you call, I will be very happy to answer any questions you
may have about rates, policies, styles of music taught, etc.
