They practiced identifying keys, constructing five-finger patterns, and worked on pieces from Opus 599 and a new composition by Mr. Lewis in E major.

I came upon Karina in Channelside while searching for organized piano test preparation. In just one year, I was able to pass my Grade 5 ABRSM exam thanks to her concentrated approach to technical drills, scales, and sight language.

Coming from Carrollwood, I signed my teenage son up for Cam ’s piano lessons. His enthusiasm and mix of jazz and classical techniques made my son excited to practice every day on his upright piano.
Piano Lessons in Tampa: A Local Chat with a Teacher
I'm new to this. Is piano popular in Tampa?
Absolutely. I work with students from all over Tampa, from Hyde Park to Westchase to Brandon. Some are kids from local schools like Mitchell or Plant High. Others are adults learning for the first time. The interest is definitely there. Tampa has a growing music scene, and piano fits right in.
Do I need to buy a piano before starting lessons?
Nope! Many of my students begin with a keyboard. You can grab one from places like Sam Ash on Dale Mabry or even online. Make sure it has 88 keys and touch sensitivity. That’s enough to get going. I’ve had students play on folding stands in their apartments downtown and do just fine.
Is there a typical age to start learning?
Not at all. I have 6-year-olds who just joined the school band, and 40-year-olds learning pop songs for fun. I even teach retired folks who want to play jazz. In Tampa, it’s more about interest than age. If you're curious and can dedicate 15 minutes a day, you're good to go.
What’s the piano lesson scene like in Tampa? Is it competitive?
Not really. It’s more laid-back compared to cities like Miami or Atlanta. Lessons here are flexible. We meet students where they are. Some take lessons in-person near Carrollwood or New Tampa. Others do online sessions. There are even group recitals at community centers if students want to perform, but no pressure.
What styles do most people learn? Classical or more modern?
Depends on the student. I have some who want to focus on technique and theory. Others come in asking to learn Taylor Swift or anime soundtracks. In Tampa, there’s room for both. Some even start with gospel or Latin styles because of their background. We blend styles based on what keeps them excited.
Anything unique about learning piano in Tampa that people outside the city might not expect?
I’d say the vibe. It’s relaxed but motivated. People enjoy learning, but no one’s panicking about it. There’s also a good mix of private teachers, music academies, and online options. Plus, being near places like the Straz Center or Gasparilla Music Festival gives students a chance to see music live, and that makes a big difference.
