Piano Lessons with Shaun Flynn

Students of all ages join my studio because they want to play music for enjoyment. Parents tell me they are looking for a teacher who “understands that music lessons aren’t [their child’s] whole life.” Parents also tell me they are looking for a teacher who is patient and fun. In my studio, that’s how we roll!

I excel at teaching students who transfer out of lesson situations that are not working for them. Is your student’s desire to play music wearing thin due to an overly aggressive teaching style? Perhaps you need a highly trained and skilled educator who can ensure growth is actually occurring in your lessons. I may be able to help you.

Students who demonstrate dedication at lessons can prepare for auditions, festivals, and music assessments. Though, some students are happy just to play at our three yearly recitals- and that’s okay!

During COVID all student recitals and studio classes are being held live on Zoom. I’m fully vaccinated and wear a mask at in-person lessons. I also offer engaging online lessons in the US and Canada.

In our lessons you or your child will learn music from a variety of styles while developing an awareness and respect for diverse cultures and people.

At Susquehanna University I studied Music Education and Performance. After earning my bachelors degree I studied at the music conservatory the Chicago College of Performing Arts.

When I’m not teaching, I play principal clarinet with the Chicago Composers Orchestra and gig as a collaborative pianist. Currently I’m serving on the board of the Chicago Area Music Teachers Association as Treasurer
