Piano, composition, and theory—clear teaching at home or online.
Aaron Pike
Aaron Pike is a pianist, composer, and private teacher. He holds a Master of Music in Composition from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and builds lessons around clear goals—technique, musicianship, and repertoire that matches the student.
He also teaches Musicianship and Composition in SFCM’s Preparatory Division. Private lessons keep the same practical, encouraging approach: strong technique and solid musicianship.
How lessons work
Music is richer when you understand how it works—not only how the notes go. Lessons connect piano technique, listening, theory, and creative work so study feels coherent and purposeful.
Where and how
In-home lessons on the Peninsula (Burlingame, Hillsborough, and nearby). Online lessons for piano, composition, and theory when location or schedule makes remote study the better fit.
Serious study without the extra commute.
In-home instruction at your instrument—or online with the same standard of teaching. Reserved weekly time, clear expectations, and a studio built for students who want real progress.
