Garrett Fisher | Piano & Composition Instruction
Welcome to my Seattle-based piano and composition studio, offering private lessons for children and adults, both in person and online.
My goal is to meet you where you are — cultivating confidence, skill, and lasting joy in making music.
With over 25 years of teaching experience, I work with piano students of all ages and levels, tailoring lessons to each student’s goals and learning style. I teach classical, pop, and contemporary piano and integrate music theory and composition for those who want to explore their own creative voice. Lessons are available in my Seattle studio, at your home, or via Zoom.
I studied piano, composition, and English at Oberlin Conservatory and College, and my music has received international acclaim. Learn more about my work as a composer.

Professional Recording Experience
I also offer professional recording sessions for piano students, vocalists, and amateur musicians. Each performer records in a professional Seattle recording studio where I produce high-quality audio and video performances.
With over 25 years as a piano instructor and director of an internationally acclaimed ensemble, I know how to bring out authentic, expressive performances in every session. Drawing on my background in classical and popular music production — and my experience creating and editing performance videos for YouTube and social media — I craft recordings that showcase growth, share music with family and friends, and serve as polished portfolio pieces.
Student Testimonials
“Learning to play the piano with Garrett has been a great experience for both me and my kids! His ability to work with both young and adult students demonstrates his understanding of a broad variety of teaching styles. He understands how to motivate his students through teaching technique, explaining theory, and choosing music that is relevant and fun to learn.”— Ira Gerlich
“Garrett allows his students to take the wheel and own their learning experience. His tailored, student-driven approach makes it fun, enjoyable, and productive to learn to both compose and play music.” —Gareth Widlansky
“Although I took piano lessons when I was younger, I did not remember much about playing. Returning to lessons as an adult student was intimidating. Garrett was the perfect teacher for me. He arrived at our first lesson with sheet music for a current pop song, and within a few weeks I was on my way to playing recognizable tunes that were enjoyable to practice. Garrett understands that I play the piano for my own pleasure and consistently meets me where I am in my development. He is an encouraging and supportive teacher.” — Sabrina Seward
“Our daughter was interested in taking piano at the start of the pandemic. Garrett offered an easy and supportive way for her to begin her musical journey on Zoom. We are now going into our third year of lessons with Garrett. Our daughter looks forward to lessons and plays on her own. Thanks, Garrett!” — Laura Birzell
