Private Lessons
Video Courses
Creative Challenges
The core of the ArtPlay Academy program is monthly 1-on-1 piano lessons with Jeremy!
Lessons are fully personalized to your interests & goals. Together we develop a customized learning plan that includes 3 primary elements: building technique through practical exercises, learning & understanding your favorite songs, & developing creative skills for improvisation & composition.
Our program is designed for working adults with busy schedules, with 1 monthly 60min lesson that can be flexibly scheduled whenever is convenient for you.
Between lessons, message Jeremy anytime to get feedback on your playing, ask questions, & share your progress. All lessons are recorded, so you can watch and review anytime.
ArtPlay Academy members have access to all 8 video courses, including 7600+ video lessons, 1200+ pages of sheet music, step-by-step curricula, technique exercises, song tutorials, play-alongs, & music theory lessons...

Every month, Academy members receive a new Creative Challenge!
This challenge includes a video lesson on a practical technique, a creative prompt to apply this technique, and a detailed practice strategy to integrate this technique into your music.
Each challenge focuses on developing different creative skills, from creating chord progressions, to composing melodies, to reharmonizing songs, to 2-hand coordination.
You'll then have the opportunity to share your challenge response through our collaborative platform, where you can give & receive feedback with fellow Academy members.
Hi, I'm Jeremy, founder of We ArtPlay.
My teaching philosophy is simple: learn how to improvise & make your own music by developing a deep understanding of how music works.
Harnessing my conservatory education in jazz piano, I've created fun & practical methods that give you the tools to improvise, compose, and learn your favorite songs starting from our first lesson! We develop your creative voice so that you can sit at the piano with confidence and play your music without reading a note.
I am a full-time music teacher, and a professional musician. I've performed with dozens of bands spanning a wide variety of genres including jazz, classical, rock, musicals, pop, hip-hop, folk, blues, salsa, reggae, Balkan, electronic, R&B, Indonesian gamelan, West African, and Afro-Cuban.
I look forward to making music with you soon!
"Now I only need to see a piano and I can play beautiful music."
"Jeremy has incredible gifts as a teacher to inspire others to find their musical voice."
"I never imagined being able to play without reading music!"
"Jeremy showed me that I, too, can write beautiful music."

We develop skills to improvise with freedom, create original music, arrange songs, understand music theory, and play by ear. Rather than memorizing repertoire, we focus on mastering music’s essential elements through practical techniques and exercises that make creating music simple, accessible, and enjoyable.
As a member of the Academy, you will schedule a 60min private lesson with Jeremy every month. The content of the lessons is customized to your level of experience, interests, and goals. There is no standard curriculum. Rather, you will work directly with Jeremy to develop a personalized learning plan that includes technical exercises, learning your favorite songs, and improvising/composing.
All private lessons are recorded, and these recordings are available for you to watch and review anytime.
