Piano lessons for children, teens, and adults in Morris Plains, New Jersey.
After more than 15 years of teaching, I have come to understand that every student learns differently. By using different teaching methods and approaches, I help students develop a deeper understanding of the music they play and discover how technique supports musical expression.
My goal is to create an environment where students can learn at their own pace, stay engaged with the process, and continue discovering the joy of making music.

Geo Progulakis is a pianist, composer, and educator with over 15 years of teaching experience. Growing up in Chile, he was surrounded by music from an early age through his grandmother's piano, discovering the instrument naturally by ear before beginning formal studies.
After moving to Italy, Geo continued his classical piano studies at the Conservatory Orazio Vecchi in Modena. He later discovered jazz and continued his studies in jazz piano, composition, arranging, and harmony, eventually earning a scholarship to study at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York City.
Since 2021, Geo Piano Studio has held student recitals in partnership with Steinway & Sons. Students have the opportunity to perform on a Steinway Model D concert grand piano and celebrate their accomplishments in a professional concert setting.
