Keiko Aloe majored in both jazz & classical piano performance at the Royal Academy of Music in London, the Paris Conservatory & the Curtis Institute of Music. She has performed piano in concert halls, jazz clubs & cruise ships all over the world.

Randy Jones studied piano at the Oberlin Conservatory & recently began Masters work at NCSA in piano performance. As an arranger, he helps children create music for their own operas through a grant from Opera Carolina.

Randy & Keiko teach both Suzuki, Traditional, & the Yamaha group piano curriculum. They have each been career piano teachers for over 20 years. Their students have gone on to study music at Julliard, Curtis & at NCSA.
Keiko Aloe - I started piano at the age of 2 & took piano lessons until I was 29 & have have had many talented students since then. I would be honored to teach any other future ones in the art of tickling the ivories. Improvising is a skill that anybody can learn. It gives one a true purpose for learning one's music theory - the ability to bring our personal musical fantasies into the real world.

Randy Jones - I started playing the piano at age four, but I was on my own until I was nine. My first teacher taught me to improvise first & then to read. At first I played popular music, blues, ragtime and folk songs, but soon fell in love with the classical piano repertoire. I can play & help students with any style of music they desire. My primary goal in teaching piano is to help students fall in love with playing the piano by any means possible.

Both Keiko & I truly love teaching piano & work very hard to help our students play the music they love. We offer private & group lessons. Keiko teaches in home studio (Ballantyne), but I offer in-home lessons serving the Charlotte region.

If you live in the Charlotte area and would like to learn to play the piano - or to take your current playing to a new level, please come & study piano with us at Allegro Piano Studios.
