Piano Lessons with Jackie
Hi – I’m Jackie,
Piano Teacher in Los Angeles
Welcome to Jackie Johnson Music! I offer piano lessons in Van Nuys and Encino for both kids and adults. My goal is simple: to help you learn music you love, while building skills and confidence at your own pace. Whether you’re a beginner or ready to explore jazz, pop, or classical styles, lessons are designed to be fun, engaging, and tailored to you.
I’ve been teaching piano for many years while also performing professionally in Chicago and Los Angeles. I love helping each student discover their own path at the piano — whether that means learning favorite songs, building strong technique, or simply enjoying music for fun.
“Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.”
Confucius

Piano Lessons for Adults
What about you – Did you quit piano as a child and now regret it?
Would you like to be able to just sit down and play at a party?
“Learning to play an instrument as an adult could help sharpen your mind, as well as prevent future cognitive decline.”
