"I have had the pleasure of having an amazingly talented instructor for over a year and a half. I went from only knowing classical to having fun learning lessons with Jonny exploring jazz, rock, swing, ragtime, and freestyle. I absolutely love what I have learned from Jonny you will too!"
Levi Johnston
"Jonny May has been the best piano teacher I have ever had. His teaching techniques are very unique and very helpful. He has taught me multiple types of styles ranging from ragtime to blues. His years of success playing the piano and talent have inspired me to practice hard and become a great pianist. I have learned more and become a better player in the past 10 months with Jonny, than the years of lessons I have taken with other teachers."

Hi, I’m Jonny May.
Teaching piano is one of my greatest joys, and over the past 15 years, I’ve helped over ten thousand students take their piano playing to the next level. With my unique style-based learning approach, I’ve guided complete beginners to full-time professionals in my online courses and live learning events.
I believe it’s important to make learning the piano fun from the start. This is something I learned from performing as the Main Street Disneyland Pianist for over 9 years, and from entertaining over 30 million people with my Youtube Videos.
Today, we have built PWJ into a team of talented piano instructors and collaborators who share this passion for helping students unlock their full potential the piano.
We can’t wait to show you what you’re capable of.
– Jonny May
Featured Courses
In our most comprehensive jazz swing piano course, we'll learn how to play Autumn Leaves in a jazz swing style. Starting with the lead sheet, we’ll memorize the melody/chords, stylize the left hand, embellish the right hand melody, master a variety of improv & rhythm techniques, and more!
Learn the classic George Gershwin tune "Summertime" in the slow jazzy blues style. Using the lead sheet, we'll stylize the left hand chords, embellish the right hand melody, compose an intro/outro, and complete the arrangement with a tasty solo!
Transform Fly Me to the Moon into a swingin' arrangement! From a lead sheet, we apply swing ingredients like shells, harmonies, chord pops, & fills. Plus, learn an intro, outro, & how to improvise.
In this course, we'll be learning a jazz ballad standard - Misty. Going phrase by phrase, we'll explore chord shells, melodic fills, stride rhythms, improv techniques, and more!
