Aaron Petit Piano

Aaron is an extremely talented pianist and effective piano teacher. I took a few lessons with him to get through some challenging parts of a piece I was working with. Aaron has shown thorough knowledge of the piece with the ability to articulate ways to improve on my playing.

My son returned from a two-week piano intensive with Aaron as his teacher ENTHUSIASTIC about playing, RELAXED at the keyboard and INSPIRED in his approach to practice and performance. Aaron gives specific and helpful direction, appropriate encouragement and clear practice assignments. He loves the instrument and the repertoire, and his passion communicates through his teaching just as fully as through his playing.

Aaron was our piano instructor at Cazadero Music Camp in the Summer of 2021. Aaron is the consummate professional - his work with our Junior High- aged campers was first rate. He was attentive to each individual, assessed their particular musical strengths and needs, and made their success his number one priority. The highest compliment I could give Aaron is that I would want my children to be taught by him!

I am a classical composer and pianist who has had the great fortune of being able to work alongside Aaron on many occasions. I can say without a doubt that not only is he one of the greatest musicians I have ever met, he is also a consummate professional and a wonderful human being. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and an incredibly hard worker who gives his all to every endeavor he undertakes. Aaron's approach to playing the piano is truly unlike any other pianist I know or have worked with. Using his considerable theoretical and compositional skills, he breaks the music down in an effort to understand it on a fundamental level whilst maximizing his efficiency during practice. The end result is a profound performance that is both distinctively his own and incredibly respectful of the composer's original intentions. Plus, it's always electrifying to watch! As a pedagogue, I cannot think of many people as qualified as Aaron. He participates in nearly every aspect of music making and displays considerable skill in every avenue he pursues. This skill is born out of a boundless love and excitement for his chosen art form, and his passion is quite infectious. In summation, I cannot recommend another musician more highly!
