Brian Preston
Piano Studio
Welcome to my website!
Now in my 42nd year of piano teaching,
I realize more than ever how essential the study of music is for all
children. I often tell
parents that I am not just teaching music to their children; I am
instructing them in the development of skills which promote
concentration on any of life’s tasks.
The skills one uses for piano playing tie together the child’s
physical, mental and emotional capabilities unlike anything else done in
life. Piano study teaches us
how be more fully human.
For most of my students, the time we spend
together each week is the only time in their lives without distraction,
where one-on-one I am able to teach them as individuals possessing
unique abilities and needs.
Having this kind of priceless opportunity is why I dedicate my life to
the education of young people.
What a thrill it has been to hear “thank you”
from so many of my graduated students who return during college years to
say:
“You were the only teacher I ever had who taught me how to study
and that has made all the difference for me in college.”
“You taught me a great lesson by always raising the bar a little
higher after every accomplishment; this was a terrific life lesson.”
“You are the only teacher who taught me perseverance.
Through your teaching I learned to never give up until I achieved
what was necessary.”
“Your teaching has changed my mind about the meaning of the word
quality.”

It is my life’s calling to continue
passing on the legacies and traditions of the great pianist/teachers
with whom I was privileged to work.
Thank you for allowing me to share my passion for music and
education with you through this website.
