About Cassian
I’m a piano tutor with 7 years of dedicated teaching experience and a Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) in Piano Performance. My specialty lies in guiding students who are preparing for elite conservatory-level jazz programs such as Berklee, Juilliard, and others. I’m deeply passionate about helping each student unlock their creative voice while mastering advanced jazz techniques. Improvisation, harmonic knowledge, and stylistic fluency are central to my lessons. I focus on refining touch, time feel, and phrasing to meet professional standards. Whether we’re working on complex voicings, transcription, or solo development, I aim to challenge and inspire. My approach blends the technical and the expressive. I tailor each lesson to support both musical goals and personal growth. I believe every pianist has a unique sound waiting to be discovered. If you’re aiming for excellence in jazz piano, I’m here to help you get there—with precision, artistry, and joy. Let’s build your future in jazz together.

My teaching approach focuses on making students fluent and confident music readers at the piano. I use a clear, step-by-step method that builds strong visual-to-finger coordination. Sight-reading exercises are a regular part of every lesson. We work on quickly identifying intervals, recognizing common patterns, and understanding how music is built on the staff.
I include drills that strengthen both speed reading and rhythmic accuracy. Students learn to keep a steady beat while reading ahead, a key skill for fluent playing. I offer clear strategies to break down new pieces and practice smartly.
This method works especially well for both young learners with high potential and adult players pursuing piano as a personal goal. I create a positive and focused learning environment where steady growth is celebrated.
Lessons are tailored to each person’s needs while following a strong, proven structure. With time and practice, you’ll be able to approach unfamiliar music with ease. Together, we’ll unlock the skills to read and play beautifully at sight.
