Music found me early, and it has been a faithful companion ever since. I had the privilege of studying under Ardeshir Rouhani, a master whose teaching carried the rich legacy of Iranian classical tradition, a lineage extending back through Javad Maroufi and the golden era of Persian music. Under his guidance, I learned that the piano is not merely an instrument but a vessel for expression that transcends any single culture or genre.
Over the years, I've explored many musical traditions: the structured elegance of Baroque counterpoint, the poetic rubato of Chopin's nocturnes, the impressionistic colors of Debussy, the ornamental beauty of Persian classical music, and the spontaneous conversations of jazz. Each tradition has taught me something different about what music can be and what it can make us feel.
This website exists because I believe learning piano should be a joy: not a burden, not a chore, but something that brings genuine pleasure into your day. Here, you can explore the instrument at your own pace, guided by both technical knowledge and the simple love of making music.
Learning music is not about perfection. It's about the enjoyment of the process itself: the satisfaction of a phrase finally flowing, the discovery of a chord that moves you, the quiet meditation of practice.
Whether you're touching piano keys for the first time or returning after years away, you're welcome here. Everything is free, always. My hope is that these lessons serve as a door, one that opens onto the vast, beautiful world of music that has given me so much throughout my life.
