Online Private Piano

Ready for traditional one-on-one private piano lessons? Each piano lesson is tailored to your or your child's specific needs. Our private piano instructors are skilled musicians with expertise in classical studies, jazz, composition, ear-training and music theory to name just a few. However, what makes our teachers unique is their ability to interact with young children. They know the importance of making lessons fun to increase motivation and will incorporate games and activities to encourage your child's learning process. Our interactive piano practice app also helps motivate students to play longer and with more focus.

The most important aspect in finding a private instructor, besides their musical expertise, is the rapport that happens between the teacher, student and parents. Our teachers are passionate and enthusiastic about sharing their love of music with others. Whether you are a child or an adult, our qualified teachers will tailor your individual lessons to fit your unique learning style and musical goals.

 Our Private Piano Instructors

All of our piano instructors are highly qualified with University degrees, previous experience working with children, character recommendations, and passing criminal history checks. Once they start working with Move Over Mozart, we also include ongoing teacher education to keep them updated with current teaching techniques and motivational tips. Each private piano instructor will use their own favorite lesson books and teaching methods to individualize and cater the lesson to your own (or your child’s) personal learning style. Our private piano program is ideal for older children through adult ages, beginning through advanced levels. For our younger beginning students, we highly recommend they start their piano learning journey with our Crescendo Kids Online or Crescendo Kids Classes first.

Kevin Kenney aka “Mr. Kevin

Piano Teacher for Private Lessons and Crescendo Kids Online

I have been around music my whole life.  My mother was a piano teacher, so I grew up with the sound of lessons going on in the background all the time.  I took music lessons for various instruments but I always kept coming back to the piano.  I earned a BFA from State University of New York at Purchase and have been a life long music student.  In 2004 I started teaching private piano lessons and have found it incredibly rewarding.  I play the piano frequently and find it an extremely expressive instrument.  I look forward to sharing this love of the piano with many students at Move Over Mozart!

Mr. Kevin has been a piano teacher with Move Over Mozart since 2011, teaching nearly 700 different students.  He is available on Tuesdays, Thursdays and the weekends.

Claire Wang aka “Mrs. Claire”

Piano Teacher for Private Lessons and Crescendo Kids Online

I am a pianist, pedagogue, collaborative artist, composer and arranger based in Cheney, Washington. I have a Master of Music in Piano Performance from Eastern Washington University and a Bachelor of Music degree in Piano Performance from University of Montana. As of July 2023, I am a Nationally Certified Teacher of Music through the Music Teachers’ National Association.

Since 2017, I have taught students of all ages and skill levels, drawing on my broad pedagogical instruction to tailor my method to the individual student’s needs. Some of my favorite pedagogical techniques include singing, clapping rhythms, tension taming, applying music theory and metronome work.  I strive to help pupils play with musical artistry, intent and skill, though my ultimate goal as a teacher is to spread joy through the experience of learning something new.

In addition to my career as a teacher, I have a wide breadth of experience as a performer, including solo and collaborative recitals, competitions, radio appearances, musical theater productions and more.

Mrs. Claire has been a piano teacher with Move Over Mozart since 2024. She is available in the morning and afternoons, Monday - Friday.
