In December 2021, ArtistWorks launched a brand new piano course designed specifically for adults interested in learning to play the piano for the first time—“Beginner’s Guide to Piano.” Taught by esteemed pianist and life-long educator, Zachary Deak, the “Beginner’s Guide to Piano” course quickly gained traction and notoriety among aspiring pianists, and it wasn’t long before hundreds of students were enrolled, learning to play classical and popular music pieces they love on the piano.

Due to the popularity of “Beginner’s Guide to Piano,” Zachary and the ArtistWorks team decided to expand his course to cover material teaching everything from beginner piano to intermediate and advanced concepts, techniques, music theory, performance pieces, and everything in between.

We’re excited to announce that Zachary’s expanded, comprehensive piano course, “Piano with Zachary Deak,” is officially live and open to the public.
