Dylan’s Story!

Hi! My name is Dylan. I’m the founder of Just Piano; and below is my story!

Around the age of eight, my mother brought out her childhood keyboard from storage. She dusted it off and taught me a few basic songs which she remembered from her time taking piano lessons. After showing some interest, it was decided to enroll me in group piano lessons in Upland. My folks realized that this group format was very stagnating to certain children in the class who were either more interested in the instrument or making greater progress. So, after some time it was decided that I would take lessons with a private tutor instead.

After some searching, we found Quality Piano Lessons in Chino (now located in Georgia). That’s where I met my longtime mentor Don Duong. I took lessons with Don for seven years and eventually was able to play the most difficult music ever written for the piano, learn songs by-ear, and even compose my own music.

I spent the last two of those years with him learning from him how to teach piano professionally. In 2018, I opened my own tutoring studio called JustPiano out of my home in Ontario, California. It began with just a few students but has since grown tremendously! In 2023, I graduated from Charter Oak State College. A few unique things about me is that I like eating steak and playing chess!
