About the Expert:

Joseph DeGregorio is a piano teacher who has also advised music teaching establishments about the best way in which to teach, which garnered praise and success in one-on-one piano instruction. DeGregorio established his “School of Piano” in Portland, Oregon, and his roster of students rose within the span of a year from a handful to forty-five weekly students, which included both children and adults.

His approach to teaching avoids using heavily marketed teaching books and courses in favor of an individual approach. Instead of the dull weekly repetition of study from the books that are only a continuation of school for children, DeGregorio creates a lesson plan for each student based on their unique aptitudes and interests. His students, for the most part play from memory. He has sparked an interest in several of his students to perform professionally.
