Hello, my name is...

Kevin Shoemaker

With over twenty years of experience as a pianist, producer, and educator, I bridge the gap between instrumental mastery and modern music technology. From performing at Carnegie Hall and NYC jazz clubs to producing pop music for tomorrow's rising stars, my career spans concert halls and recording studios alike.Teaching lessons has been the most constant part of my career since I was just a young student myself. I have taught students from London to New York City, from absolute beginners to advanced players. Getting to watch students grow and transform into something they only dreamed of is one of the great joys of my work!Based just steps from London Fields, I offer bespoke mentorship in piano and music production. Whether you want to learn to play your favorite song, prepare for ABRSM excellence, or master Ableton and Logic Pro, I provide an artist-led space designed to help you refine your technical skill and cultivate your own unique sound.
