About Jimmy
I have been teaching private lessons five days a week for about 25 years. I see sharing the journey of music making one-on-one as what I am here to do. I teach mostly local kids after school each day, but I have room on my schedule to teach some more students of all ages. For remote lessons, I use two cameras (one on my face, one on the keyboard) and lots of teaching 'tricks' I've learned to keep students engaged and learning efficiently. I send my students exciting and unique pieces of music based on their tastes and talents. I can honestly say that my students (currently age 8 to 63) love their remote lessons. They are learning efficiently and joyfully. I am so pleased that they are developing a life-long connection to playing music.

Each lesson is customized for the student’s interests and learning style. Music is chosen to motivate. I use various methods and “terrain”: Rote, Ear, Method Books, sheet music and Fake Music— to provide fun and growth at the piano. Technique and theory exercises are also given to benefit long term development.
I have taught all musical styles to students aging 5 to 75. As an entertainer, I accompany my singing on piano and guitar. So, one of my teaching specialties is helping player/singers arrange their accompaniment and coaching their singing. Another, is offering unique, exciting pieces of music that young boys love to practice!

Jimmy is a very conscientious guy. He prepares diligently for each lessom and he's always working to meet me where I'm at. I'm greatly appreciative of his ability to adapt. Specifically, he works to incoporate a combination of theory, learning pieces, and teaching drills that suits me personally. He also adapts lessons based on the progress I made on my own so that I don't get "left behind" if I struggle with something nor bored and moving slower than necessary if I've made some strides. He's a very caring and patient teacher, and I've thoroughly enjoyed the 5 months I've spent learning with him thus far.
"Jimmy Byrne was an awesome match for our daughter in her pursuit of learning piano, but more importantly, her journey of love and appreciation of music. Starting at a very young age, Jimmy used unique and specialized approaches to connect our daughter to piano, cool beats, and melodies. She loved her lessons with Jimmy and now has a true appreciation of music.
During COVID Jimmy was able to keep our daughter connected to her musical journey. He has great skill both in person and remotely with music instruction and creativity."
- Megan BaiardoJimmy provides a warm, friendly and steady presence for three years. Our son appreciated a weekly piano lesson for musical collaboration, development, and fun!
My son has been taking piano lessons with Jimmy for the past 8 years. Matthew has autism and Jimmy has done a great job connecting with him. We were sad to see him leave Colorado but the virtual lessons have been wonderful. He has instilled a love of classical music in Matthew that will last a lifetime.
If you’re looking for a piano teacher, look no further—Jimmy is the one. What sets Jimmy apart is not just his exceptional ability to teach the piano but his genuine love for music and his gift for inspiring that same passion in his students. He doesn’t just teach you how to play a song; he helps you understand it—why the notes are where they are, the timing, the emotion behind the music.
I started with Jimmy as a complete beginner at the age of 62, having never played an instrument before, but with a lifelong love of music. After two years of lessons, I can confidently say that his passion is contagious. I look forward to every lesson, not just to improve my playing but to deepen my connection to music itself.
Whether your goal is to help your child become a concert pianist or, like me, to learn piano for personal enjoyment and to share music with loved ones, Jimmy is the perfect teacher. His ability to meet each student where they are and foster both skill and a love of music is truly a gift.My husband, Jimmy, has taught our two sons piano and guitar for many years. They are both very musical and pick up their guitars or sit at the piano all on their own accord. I am so grateful to have a music teacher and musical sons in our home!
Also, we recently moved away from where all of Jimmy's in person students were. He still has students who choose to take lessons with him online instead of attend lessons with the various in person teachers that Jimmy referred them to before we moved.

I typically do not provide a “first free lesson” outside of Superprof. But, I am happy to give up to 30 minutes free for a remote technology run-through, personal introductions and a mini-lesson. I could alternatively do half price for a complete first lesson.
