Christie Skousen

I have been teaching for over 40 years and am the founder of the Peery Piano Academy and author of the Peery Method. The Peery Method is a system of attaching language, symbols, and motions to specific sounds. The result is refined, controlled, beautiful playing that is accessible to all students regardless of natural musical ability.

I work with a number of teachers who are all trained in the Peery Method and care deeply about their students and nurturing a positive connection with music. As a result, Peery students range from award-winning competitors to vibrant jazz musicians to casual pop music players and everything in-between.
