Welcome to

As an all round music lover and passionate musician, I am confident and comfortable in teaching any style or genre of music. Whether that be Classical, Pop, Rock, Jazz, Funk or realistically just about any style you can think of, I just love all things music and I believe this reflects in my teaching style. We will have you playing your favorite songs in no time.
My main teaching method is by teaching you the songs that you love the most by your favorite artists. No matter what direction you would like to take the lessons in, together we can analyse and study your favorite songs, which will not only help you improve as a technical player but this also helps to keep motivation and drive when overcoming the challenges that we all face when learning an instrument.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
My Piano lessons are suitable and tailored towards students of all skill levels both Beginners and Advanced Piano players who are looking to take their skills to that next level.
As a member of Music Teachers National Association (MTNA), I have been teaching the piano for over 40+ years to students of all levels and ages. I currently teach the Piano privately in one to one sessions, as well as group piano classes with multiple students and online classes using technology and cutting edge music software.
I'm very fond of working with younger children and as such I work with all students from the ages of 4+. This has inspired me over the years to write my own curriculum. My background is classically trained, however I have grown and evolved as a teacher and I now teach jazz, improvisation, and composition.
I studied piano performance and pedagogy at Brigham Young University with the late professor Paul Pollei. My love for people and music is what has inspired my forty years of teaching. After attending RMM at Chicago MTNA national convention, I became very interested in the RMM movement of making music lessons a fun experience for all ages and I am very passionate about this in my own lessons.
Many of my students have graduated in piano performance, organ performance, piano pedagogy, and music theory from major universities. I'm thrilled to see my students reach their musical goals and to love music enough to make it a career following their lessons with me. This is something I am very humbled by.
Over the years I have been working on writing my own system of teaching which I've been testing with my current students for the last 8 years. So far I feel good about the results I am getting with my students. This has developed in to my very own "Barton Music School". We use cutting edge music technology, software, and traditional methods to expedite the learning process
Most students tend to take regular one hour lessons with me per week and I find that this tends to yield the best results and the most consistent progress. I have a great deal of experience when it comes to working with younger learners and I understand the best ways to approach children that ensure they are learning as much as they can.
Here is a list of a couple of local music stores you can try to buy all the things that you may need to get started on Piano.
Acoustic Music, located 857 400 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84102 is one of the better local music stores that you can try for all your Piano needs.
Guitar Center, is located 5752 South Redwood Road, Salt Lake City, UT 84123. Don't let the name fool you, here they sell a huge range of all instruments not just guitars. Including Keyboards and all other accessories you may need.
Yamaha Pianos , is primarily an online retailer that ship gear all across the states. As there aren't a lot of stores in Salt Lake City here is a very reliable service you can use for all your Piano needs.
I am here and ready to help any students of all ages on their way to becoming the Piano player that have always wanted to be. I can help you grow and develop not only as a better Piano player but as an all round musician.
[email protected]Lessons are $33.25 for an hours lesson.
I teach the majority of my lessons from my home in South Jordan, UT 84009, USA. (full address would be provided upon booking your first lesson).
