Conservatory-Quality Piano Lessons
in Marin and Sonoma

John Boyajy teaches students at all levels and ages. He combines his experience as a workshop leader, holistic healer, and parent with the traditions of the Russian Romantic school of piano-playing in which he was trained. His teaching is thus a combination of gentle, steady support, positive thinking, and the time-honored discipline that creates technical fluency and comfort with a potentially daunting instrument.
