“Dr. Chris Weldon’s artistic suggestions have improved my technical efficiency and musical interpretation to an immeasurable degree. Each engaging and enlightening lesson comes full of new ideas that, when put into practice, have taken my performances closer and closer to those of famed concert pianists. Without Dr. Chris Weldon, my connection to the music I play wouldn’t be nearly as profound as it is today.”
— Ryan H. (Student)
“My son began transitioning to Dr. Weldon in 2019. Since he began taking lessons his musical ability skyrocketed. He was a good pianist prior to working with Dr. Weldon but was able to accomplish difficult finger passages and unlocking his inner musical spirit. His attention to details such as wrist placement and movement helped my son to develop endurance for longer performances. Dr. Weldon’s knowledge of music helps my son to recognize chord progression and make memorization more efficient. Dr. Weldon is a very positive and encouraging instructor. He is a great role model for my son and I love seeing my son grow with Dr. Weldon’s teaching. My son’s experience with Dr. Weldon has opened doors leading to a future in music.”
— Angie S. (Parent)

I appreciate that he scaffolds piano lessons so as to appropriately challenge students without causing them to feel overwhelmed. We look forward to our weekly lessons, and I am thrilled with how much Jack [my son] has grown in his first year of lessons. I can’t wait for my daughter to begin!”
— Anna B. (Parent)
“I started studying with Dr. Chris Weldon last fall and I love having him as a teacher! He is always giving me new ideas to work with and providing me with many different perspectives on the music I’m playing. Even though I’ve only studied with him for a few months, I feel like I’ve grown a lot as a musician and I’m able to do things out of my comfort zone. He is a phenomenal pianist and an amazing teacher.”
— Jacqueline P. (Student)
“My 10 year old son has been taking piano with Dr. Weldon for 6 months and has learned so much already. He has introduced him to the importance of technique which has allowed him to master much more challenging pieces and a wider range of music than he had been studying in his previous 3 years of piano. Dr. Weldon holds his students to a high standard and motivates them to do their best but also has a gentle, compassionate and flexible approach that makes learning fun!”
— Nicole L. (Parent)
“After our first meeting with Dr. Weldon, my boys both said, ‘He’s the one!’ Both boys are excited about their learning and are being challenged to grow as musicians. Their playing has improved tremendously in a short time. My boys describe Dr. Weldon as “nice, amazing, smart and encouraging.”
— Caroline W. (Parent)
“Alex can now play long piano pieces from memory, without looking at the sheet music. I am really impressed. He is inspired by Dr. Weldon and looks forward to every lesson. Alex is always excited to work on new pieces. During every lesson, Alex gets new tips that help him a lot to improve his piano performance.”
