My name is Tim Rovnak, and I'd like to introduce you to my instructional program for piano. I've been playing piano for 34 years, and performing professionally in the Phoenix metro area since 1994. You can find me performing with Blaine Long on any given weekend somewhere in Arizona.
I started Arizona Piano Lessons in 2003, inspired by the desire to share my lifelong knowledge of music with others. Playing an instrument such as the piano can enrich the life of any child or adult and create many wonderful experiences. I decided that music instruction, from beginner to advanced, should provide solid skills, be enjoyable, and compliment each individual's interest.
As my program progressed, I assembled a team of excellent instructors that share in my belief. Your experience in learning music with us will be both rewarding and fun!
I started playing at the age of 8. In our program, a child as young as 5 can begin learning piano. Beyond core materials, activities for all students include improvisation, ear training, and song writing. Every year we record a song from each student and produce a CD with all of the performances for everyone to enjoy.
We are a team of experienced instructors, having studied many different styles including classical, jazz, blues, gospel, pop, rock, and country. Our goal is to teach proper mechanics and to teach your ears to make sense out of music.
The language of music notation is how we visually translate music for our hands to play a piano. Our instruction will show you how to read and play sheet music and how to interpret and play chart music.
Our ears are the most important tools in the world of music. They guide us through the music we play and create. They decide what sounds appealing. Let us know what you would like to hear yourself or your child play, and we will teach it.
(If you are an experienced instructor looking for a position in our program, please email a resume with references.)

Here I am at one of my favorite pianos. It is the beautiful concert grand at Taliesin West. I can't help but volunteer to play it each time I visit the facility.

Gabe is a fellow instructor at the Tempe Studio. He has been performing and playing piano for over 15 years and has a degree in Music Therapy from ASU. Gabe is a multi-instrumentalist with additional talents in accordion and banjo.

Paul is another excellent instructor for Arizona Piano Lessons. He stars in the latin-rock ensemble Gunzawless.
