You've come to the right place. I teach piano to all ages from young children to adults, and all levels. Piano lessons are taught in my San Jose home which is conveniently located near Willow Glen, Almaden, Evergreen, Santa Teresa, Campbell, and Morgan Hill. Playing the piano is a lot of fun. With proper instruction, learning to play piano is fun as well.
And you'll be surprised how easy it is to get started! I offer a free piano lesson in my San Jose home so both the student and the parent can see how I teach before they hire me as their piano teacher. As your piano lessons progress, you will learn proper technique and music theory hand in hand with musicality and expression, experiencing the joy of bringing the notes to life.

My daughter has been learning Piano with Craig for several months. I am very grateful to his passion, patience, and encouragement that he gave through the whole time. As a piano teach, he's alway giving my daughter encouragement, lots of motivation, right technic, and easing away my worries. Showed why people like and want to play piano in their life and how a person can be so enjoyable when doing something that they really love. Craig's very knowledgeable and talented. It's easy to get touched by music he played, happy or sad, humor or classic. My daughter showed noticeable progress in a short

My 7yr old son and 11yr old daughter have been taking piano lessons with Mr. Craig for the past 2 years. He combines both theory and practice in every class, which gives students deeper understanding of each piece. They have recitals twice a year, which gives them an opportunity to prepare and perform in front of a live audience.
My kids always look forward to Mr. Craig's piano class. He is engaging, patient and fun. Thanks to Mr. Craig my kids have developed a genuine interest in music.

Mr. Craig Lynch has taught my son piano since my son was 4 years old (now 13). Mr. Craig is both patient and encouraging. In addition, Mr. Craig’s semiannual recitals were an important factor in choosing a teacher, because we consider recitals important both as a motivation to perfect a piece by a firm deadline and also to promote confidence in performing for an audience. Also, I like that Mr. Craig spends time teaching music theory as well as performance skills. I recommend Mr. Craig as a piano teacher and his performing arts school Santa Teresa Academy of Music and Dance, where my sons have

My son has been taking piano lessons from
Craig for almost 2 years. Craig has provided a fun and nurturing environment for piano lessons. His set up area is clean and organized and perfect for students during their lessons. During COVID times, Craig quickly stepped up and adjusted to the new normal and was able to set up online learning immediately. I don’t think we missed any lessons during the transition. My son enjoys his lessons and will continue with lessons for a long time!

Craig is an outstanding piano teacher who has made learning fun and engaging for my daughter. She started taking lessons at 9 with no prior experience and is now 11 and playing far better than I ever expected in such a short period of time.
During the COVID pandemic, Craig seamlessly transitioned to virtual lessons via live video conferencing and we did not miss a beat. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a piano teacher.

I’ve been taking Craig’s piano lessons for a few years. He is a great teacher and always encourage student to take challenges to the next level. He is super patient and I really like his teaching style for adult student like me, he helped me to explore piano learning in the way that I can enjoy, such as re-arrange some music notes to fit to my level. He is very talented and knowledgeable about piano, and passionate about piano teaching. I highly recommend Craig!

Mr. Craig has been my daughter's piano teacher since 1st grade. Over these years he has passionately and patiently taught her the instrument as well as theory, and in addition a 'lab' session that provides the student a history of the instrument's evolution and famous composers.
He also coaches and prepares her in taking the annual Certificate of Merit exam, which is quite challenging. Overall, we are pleased with her progress and grateful to her teacher's dedication to see the student not only succeed but enjoy it along the way!

My son recently started piano training with Craig and it has been a wonderful experience. He loves playing the piano and looks forward to the weekly sessions.
He cleared his first level of MCAT exam with flying colors under Craig's guidance. Craig had been super helpful ,until the last day of the exam helping correct the notes and making sure my son is prepared well!
Craig even sat with my son to review the theory questions which he got wrong and made him realize where he went wrong.
The best thing about Craig's methodology is he makes piano playing fun and modifies the lessons as per the student
