Experienced tutor in Piano in Alexandria, Joseph offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Very skilled, warm and patient teacher. Great with adult students who want to add piano to their busy lives.

Ideal instructor in so many way! Able to tailor lessons to my particular needs and tastes (mostly baroque) though he encourages me to push beyond my meager abilities. As an aging baby boomer myself, I am so happy to find someone who has allowed me to accomplish a lifelong dream: to play better than I did when I took lessons as a kid. Joe emphasizes good technique but still makes lessons fun. Definitely 5 stars!

Joe is patient and understanding of each student's strengths. He focuses on technique, while helping students advance their playing. He offers constructive criticism without diminishing the student's efforts and attempts at new material. He is an outstanding teacher.

Joe:

You are a wonderful instructor, a wonderful friend; and after reading your profile I find you are an awarded musician.

I feel honored and privileged to have you as my teacher and as my friend.

This coming year I am going to try to be more dedicated to my practice each week.

Mr. Inman is an outstanding teacher. He drills you on technique for half the class before doing anything else. But it's not overwhelming and technique is what made music so much easier for me to learn in the long run. He also makes the class fun, jokes around, and develops a long-lasting relationship with his students. We still keep in contact to this day. He should be everyone's piano teacher, honestly.

I have been a piano student of Joe for over 10 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. He has the unique ability to work with kids and adults alike, fostering in each an understanding and love of music. Joe encourages his students to play different styles and genres of music to fit the students needs and desires. He has a unique way of making his students comfortable at any level of play. I find that while playing music I enjoy, I also learn a bit of theory and technique without it being dreary. I have seen him work with kids on their way to becoming concert pianists, and others who just enjoy music, and in each case he has adapted his style to meet their (and my) needs and desires. I have thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with Joe over the years and only wish that I had a teacher like him when I was young.
