Our Director, Lana Gaudio, M.M.Ed. is the owner and founder of Lana Gaudio School of Music and PlayLoveLearn. She is entering her third decade teaching piano to students of all ages and abilities.  She began her own piano instruction in 1982, just before her fifth birthday.  Throughout the next forty-plus years, she has studied under Dr Celia Goering, Dr Richard Reber, and Sir Wladimir Jan Kochanski.  In addition to teaching a full studio of nearly 40 students for the last 28 years, she also composes, arranges, and performs.  She has worked with many industry leaders, including James Taylor, The Four Seasons, and Yo-Yo Ma.

Since moving to the Seattle area in 2014, Lana is delighted to have mentored dozens of piano teachers, and brought the joy of playing music to hundreds of households. 

Lana is not currently accepting new weekly students, however 90 minute Masterclasses may be granted upon application.
