Tommy is the best! I have learned so much about harmony analysis, reharminization, playing from lead sheets. Learned all my 7th chords and their inversions. Working on 9th and 13th. Need more work on 11th, but recognized a 13th with a #11 in my harmony analysis.

My children have been taking lessons for a year and have already grown so much. Not only in their skill, but also in their love for the piano itself. Tommy is a wonderful piano teacher. He helps each student with technique and theory while teaching them songs that they love. We especially love the recitals that Tommy puts together. It is clear how much Tommy enjoys teaching and music.

Tommy is an excellent teacher that strives to get to know his students individually and their personal interests, which helps keep them engaged in lessons! My son really looks forward to his lesson each week and is making great progress!

Our 5-year-old has been taking lessons with Tommy for almost a year, and he absolutely loves it. We wanted a teacher who made learning fun and encouraging—not pushy or stiff—and that’s exactly what Tommy provides. With games, confidence-building, and great preparation, our son has grown so much and even played his first recital without nerves. Lessons feel more like sharing music with a mentor than traditional lessons, which is exactly what we hoped for.

My daughter has been taking piano lessons with Tommy Schilb for about four months now, and we couldn’t be happier. He is incredibly patient and has a fun, engaging teaching style that my daughter absolutely loves. She always looks forward to her lessons, which speaks volumes about his ability to connect with young students and make learning enjoyable. One thing we especially appreciate is how accommodating Tommy has been with our schedule. Even while my daughter was away for summer vacation, he went out of his way to set up online lessons so she wouldn’t miss a beat—literally! It’s that kind of flexibility and dedication that really sets him apart. We’ve seen great progress already, and I would absolutely recommend Tommy to any parent looking for a piano teacher who is not only talented but also kind, supportive, and genuinely invested in their students.
