About Louis
Hi, I’m Louis Knight, a singer-songwriter and pianist. Music has forever been my greatest passion, but learning piano wasn’t always easy for me. As a kid, I struggled with traditional piano lessons as they felt rigid and uninspiring. It wasn’t until I found a way of learning that truly catered to my needs and creativity that I fell in love with playing! That experience shaped how I teach today. I know firsthand that everyone learns differently, and my goal is to make music accessible, engaging, and tailored to YOU. Whether you're a total beginner, a singer wanting to accompany yourself, or an aspiring songwriter, I’ll help you build confidence, develop your skills, and most importantly, enjoy playing music. With real-world experience as a performer and songwriter, I focus on practical, hands-on learning that helps you play the music you love while gaining essential technique and musical understanding. Let’s play music together!

I've written and recorded countless times with Louis over the last year or so and, not only is he an incredibly talented and professional musician, but also one of the most sincere and patient people I know. I can happily recommend him for anyone wishing to learn piano.
Louis is an excellent piano teacher, he has great experience being a singer-songwriter for 7+ years and coming top 7 on American Idol. He was friendly, patient and very helpful in teaching me how to play the piano! Would highly recommend to anybody!
