A Comprehensive Home Study Course in Piano Technology

A Testimonial

Rick Butler loves teaching, and it shows. I can’t say enough good things about his skill as a teacher. He is patient, pleasant and focused; perceptive; knowledgeable without arrogance, open-minded; methodical but flexible.   As his student I consistently feel valued, respected, encouraged, and challenged. Rick communicates the joy of learning, even when one is being guided through a topic or skill that is uncongenial. He knows how to inspire the student to do their best work as well as how to help them improve the level of that work.   I struggled with Aural Tuning for some years in the absence of a competent teacher. Rick has enabled me to greatly increase my skill. I feel quite fortunate to have the opportunity to study with him. N.
