Experienced tutor in Piano in Minneapolis, Brian offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

In the 10 years my daughter has been taking lessons, we have moved around a bit and she has had 4 different teachers, and I have to say, Brian is the absolute BEST teacher we have ever worked with!

He is so in tuned with the student and not only builds in them an amazing love for music, but he drives their passion! By working with them and encouraging them, he brings out the best in their ability as well as builds their confidence and joy in playing.

I cannot tell you enough how much Brian has meant to our daughter these past several months, but I can tell you that not only has her desire to progress come back, but her love of the piano has taken new heights.

If you have a serious piano student and you're looking for the most inspiring and truly passionate teacher, Brian is your guy. I promise, you will see your child rise to new heights you never imagined possible.

Brian is an exceptional piano teacher. My son has thrived under his teaching. He is good at focusing on all aspects of playing the piano: not just hitting the right notes, but also musicality and techniques for hand and body movement to enhance the playing experience. He’s also a great communicator with a calm, relaxed demeanor that allows him to challenge my son without inducing stress. I highly recommend him!

Brian has been teaching piano to our young elementary children for a few years now; he is fabulous! Brian is patient, positive, and so knowledgeable. He is flexible and willing to try new techniques to keep our son and daughter engaged and loving the piano. Our children love going to piano lessons and I know this is truly because of the amazing teacher they have. We can't sing his praises enough! =)

I took lessons from Brian De Young several years ago when he worked in Michigan. It was such a wonderful and helpful experience! Brian is very devoted to his students. His enthusiasm for what he does overflows into his students. He greatly helped me excel in my piano skill. I would definitely recommend him!

Brian is extremely competent, good with kids, flexible, and communicative. Highly recommended!

Brian is patient and tailors the lessons to the ability of the student, such as finding supplemental material to enforce key concepts that the student has opportunities in.

I am a senior adult and long time piano teacher myself. A year ago I decided to up my game and asked Brian if he’d take me in as a student. In really appreciate Brian’s knowledge of music history and repertoire. He’s a gifted musician and teacher. He has so much experience and many creative ideas to help me grow as a musician myself. He’s kind and understanding, while challenging me to do more and be better. I am one satisfied customer!
