Evan Kibiloski - Piano lessons in Indianapolis

Why make music hard when you can make music fun! I believe that music is truly for everybody, and I strive to help others learn to express themselves through it. Understanding fundamentals, theory, and technique are all very important foundations, but the ultimate goal of playing music is creative and emotional fulfillment. While my attitude towards the art form may be liberal, I can assure you that I have a deep academic understanding of what makes music so satisfying to listen to and perform. Along with 15+ years of performance experience across multiple instruments, I have both a BA and MFA in music theory and composition. I love any and all questions regarding the medium and highly encourage inquisitiveness in my students. So whether you want to delve into the scientific and philosophical nature of music or just want to know how to play your favorite Beatles song, my classroom is open to any and all who are hungry to learn!

James Garland - Piano lessons in Indianapolis

Hi! I’m James, a pianist and trumpet player who graduated from the RWCMD on the jazz course. I have worked with children of different ages and abilities — from complete beginners to those preparing for graded exams. My experiences in teaching involve teaching an A-level class about Haydn, teaching a class about African drumming, teaching multiple pupils piano, and incorporating jazz into that learning. My lessons are fun, supportive, and tailored to each child’s learning style. I focus on helping students build confidence, develop good technique, and enjoy the process of making music. Alongside piano playing, I include elements of music theory, rhythm, and creativity to keep lessons engaging and well-rounded. As a performer, I’ve played at venues such as the Royal Albert Hall and bring that same passion and musicality into my teaching. I love seeing students grow in both skill and enjoyment, and I aim to make every lesson something they look forward to!

Keneth Mejia - Piano lessons in Indianapolis

Hi, my name is Keneth. I’m originally from Honduras and I’m currently living in Canada. I have been playing piano for many years, and I also play bass and guitar. Music has always been a big part of my life, and I enjoy helping beginners learn in a simple, patient, and friendly way. My teaching style is relaxed but clear. I like to focus on the basics first, learning Middle C, understanding how the keyboard is divided, building major and minor chords, and practicing good hand position. I also teach students how to count rhythm and use a metronome, because timing is one of the most important skills in music. I believe every student learns at a different pace, so I always try to explain things calmly and make the lessons enjoyable. Whether someone wants to learn their first song, understand music theory, or improve their technique, I guide them step by step.
