Experienced tutor in Piano in Union, Michael offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Michael is absolutely an outstanding teacher and I still can't believe my luck in finding him. He is an excellent motivator. He expects a lot from you but also makes you WANT to meet his expectations. I have made a lot of progress since I started studying with him 9 months ago.

Michael is a fantastic instructor. He has a way of working with students through whatever difficulties they may be having that makes him uniquely valuable to any student looking to really take their piano performance to the next level.

Michael is a truly talented musician and an equally talented teacher. His friendly demeanor really helped put me at ease when I would have self-doubt about my piano ability. Michael is well read in the pedagogical materials available to piano students and has experience working with a book I had been using geared toward adult piano students. He was always respectful of our time, always arrived on time for lessons and stayed fully engaged throughout the lesson. Michael was an excellent coach on how to get the most out of my practice time. He helped make sure that I practiced correctly and offered many great practicing strategies that I still use. If you are considering hiring Michael as your piano teacher, I recommend him highly.

Michael is an encouraging, insightful teacher and a sophisticated musician himself who was recommended to me by the accomplished musician, composer and maestro Dr. Barlow Bradford. I give him an outstanding rating for supporting me when I felt motivated by certain repertoire to take some ownership in my piano education, and for his valuable input musically.

Michael taught my son for over 10 years and in addition to being an accomplished performance pianist himself (i.e. a great example for his students), he was the perfect balance as an instructor between excellence in technical proficiency, great patience with young students but more demanding as they matured, great motivator with a positive attitude and also attention to detail and emphasis on cultivating a connection with the music - whether performance focused or just wanting to enjoy excellence on an individual level. Strongest possible recommendation!

My daughter took piano lessons from Michael Stewart for one year; piano is not her primary instrument; she needed to be proficient in piano for her college auditions. Michael came highly recommended from the musician community in our area. Michael was an exceptional teacher and expanded my daughter’s piano foundations and music theory basics, giving her everything she needed on piano for a great start at New England Conservatory this year. He was professional and knowledgeable, kind and positive, easy to work with, and an effective communicator. He is also a very talented and highly respected musician. I give Michael my highest recommendation.

At the time my son started piano lessons with Michael, my son was at an intermediate level. Michael helped him prepare for piano competitions. This was a great experience for my son, I remember him performing with the group of kids who won a competition at the U of U. Michael cares about his students and helps them achieve their goals.

Michael is a very talented pianist who was able to help our son progress immensely in his piano studies. He is an inspired teacher who clearly loves what he does and is able to generate enthusiasm in his students.

Michael is a brilliant pianist with amazing technique. He also is a patient and gentle teacher no matter the student's level. He can play my piano anytime!!!

He's a great musician. Very knowledgeable about music.

My best experience as a student! Very professional teacher, patient and passionate about music. Mr. Stewart has the ability of making things easier and understandable without effort. I totally recommend him! A+++++
