Meet Your Teacher, Tara Boykin!
Hiiiiii!!!! My name is Tara and I’m low key obsessed and passionate about piano! I started playing when I was 4, started teaching when I was 14, writing music at 16 (I have 4 albums and am working on my 5th!), and have dedicated my life to sharing my love for piano with students and teachers around the world!
I am a single widowed mom, with 2 beautiful boys, Jordan (born September 2020) and Evan (born May 2022). I’m also a cat mom, plant mom, and also feel a deep need to care and nurture all my students! That personal connection is so important to me, and I will do my best to make sure they are seen, successful and help develop that love for piano I know they all have in them!
I can't wait to meet your kiddo!

For the best results, we recommend you have a piano or keyboard at home. It doesn’t have to be fancy, but it’s better if students have a keyboard they can practice on at home, especially when it comes to learning and playing pieces! Check out my piano recommendations!
At home, for best results, students should have a keyboard and access to either an ipad or computer to work on Boom Cards.
Make sure to always bring all the books and materials Tara has given your child. That could be anything from a piano book (or several – we compound our learning), printed games, piano pieces, or anything else that has been handed out during the club.
