Wehrli Publications and Music Studio

I am a current student of Barry for about 2 years now. He is an extremely talented teacher and he is amazing at teaching the fundamentals and building upon them. He is also very organized, which makes the learning process much easier. I currently have three of his books made specifically for teaching piano to beginners. All of them are extremely well written and thorough. He is also great at explaining more complex techniques and music theory. I am very happy with the lessons that I have received so far, and I am very excited to move forward with Barry as my teacher.

What I appreciated most about my experience taking lessons with Barry is his consistency as a piano teacher. Consistency is the through-line, and it shows in his professional and encouraging personality, in the energy that he brings to his teaching, and most importantly in his method, which emphasizes a structured, practical, and step-by-step approach to technical improvement at the instrument. Whenever I was discouraged at my progress, Barry would be quick to illustrate objectively how I had improved through the exercises he had assigned, thereby reassuring me of the value of my practice efforts. He was always willing to work with me to assign exercises that fit within my wants, needs, and limitations as a player. As an adult returning to the piano after a long hiatus, I benefited greatly from his experienced approach and clear perspective. For these reasons and more I would highly recommend Barry Wehrli as a piano teacher!

I have been an adult student of Barry for almost one year. He is very good at teaching fundamentals, and I particularly like his attention to the technical details of piano playing. He is great at making complex concepts easy to understand. He has been accommodating to my ever changing schedule, which is important for me. I grew up learning classical piano and now want to learn how to play pop/jazz. This is his area of expertise and so far he has been very helpful. His textbooks are also very well-written and useful.

Barry is a fantastic teacher. I could tell he had a deep love for his craft upon our first meeting. His perception regarding what you need to work on as a student is precise. Follow his lesson plans to the letter and you will earn great results.

I have 2 children taking classes with Barry, he is a wonderful Teacher. They have learned and grown so much through his teaching techniques.

His method includes ear training. The 3x rule, posture and curvature of the fingers. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is serious about learning music.

We really enjoy having him as our music teacher.
