Kelly Walsh

Hello! I have a Master's Degree in Music as a Piano Performance Major and a Music Theory Minor and have been teaching piano for over twenty five years. I specialize in teaching music reading and have written two award-winning books on the subject. I am passionate about classical music, especially the late Romantic composers. I can help you acquire great technique and show you the best ways to practice your music to learn it quickly and with less effort. Many of my students have been accepted into prestigious music schools and colleges. Let me help you to become the best pianist you can be.

Kelly Walsh earned her Master of Music degree as a Piano Performance major at Combs’ College of Music in Philadelphia. She was awarded with a scholarship and a fellowship while in graduate school. Kelly’s other areas of study included Orchestration, Music Theory, Music History, Pedagogy and Musicology. She studied orchestration and composition with the renowned composer, Dr. Romeo Cascarino. Kelly’s post graduate work included ten years of teaching private piano and music appreciation classes at various colleges in the Northeast such as St. Rose College in Albany, NY. She also worked as the piano accompanist for the music department at the State University of New York in Oneonta. In 1999, Kelly founded her own music studio, Walsh Piano Studio in Jupiter, Florida where she acquired a reputation as an exacting musician and an expressive pianist. As a result of her comprehensive instruction, several of her students were accepted as piano or music majors into prestigious universities. In 2013 she wrote and was granted two United States patents for a music reading method she created. Kelly is the author of two books on music education for children, Music Wordspeller First Edition and Music Wordspeller Worksheets Edition. The renowned music publisher Hal Leonard offered her a proposal to buy the rights to the first edition of Wordspeller that is currently featured on Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com. In 2015 Kelly was presented with an award by Readers’ Favorite for receiving a 5 star editorial review for her book.
