About Me
Rogers Piano Studio offers private piano lessons for adults and children across a variety of musical styles including classical, chamber music, and popular music.
Richard Rogers brings decades of experience to his piano instruction spanning performance, conducting, and coaching. He strives to inspire his students at all levels and ages to develop an appreciation for music. He has a successful approach to coaching students to master the technical and interpretive demands of each piece in their repertoire which is part of why his studio members continue with him year after year.
While running his piano studio, Richard has also thought piano and chamber music at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music for 30 years. He is currently offering in-person lessons in northern New Jersey, primarily at his studio in Lake Hopatcong. He continues to service his San Francisco studio members remotely.

Richard has been my teacher for many, many years. Not only does he bring a level of enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the craft to every lesson, he has also bestowed in me the virtues of hard work, patience, humility, and finding joy in music. He's an exceptional piano player himself and his experience and preparedness for each class have up-leveled my playing significantly. I am somewhat of a beginner/advanced pianist and bring to him a lot of pop music to learn. Since COVID, I've been taking my lessons with him remotely via Zoom and we haven't missed a beat. I'll probably begin going to his studio in person soon. I know he also teaches highly advanced students and a more classical repertoire as well. Though he's been just perfect to work with me at my level. I highly recommend him if he has space for new students.
