About Roy
With four studio albums, worldwide tours, and a debut album named Best Album of the Year by Time Out Tel Aviv, Roy brings real artistry into every lesson.
His unique, rule-free method removes the wall between you and music — helping hundreds of adults discover their inner musician, regardless of prior experience.
With over 25 years of teaching and hundreds of students from around the world, Roy's impact speaks for itself.
The Method
Most piano teaching follows the same rigid path — scales, sheet music, theory. My method is different.
Every student I work with is treated as an individual. I build each lesson around what you need, not a fixed curriculum. No heavy music theory required — you'll play with both hands from your very first lesson.
I developed this approach over 25+ years because I wanted to remove the fear and frustration that stops most adults from ever sitting at a piano. The result? A real connection to the instrument, fast progress, and the ability to enjoy music from day one.
Student Stories
Yuval came to his first lesson as a complete beginner — he had never played piano before. In less than one month, using Roy's unique method, he wrote and performed his very own original composition. No sheet music. No theory. Just music.
Galit is a classic example of a student who had no idea how much talent she had — until she sat at the piano for the very first time. Six months later, this is her fourth original composition. To this day, Galit doesn't read a single note of sheet music. Just pure creativity and feel.
Ronnie is an established musician who had never played piano before. After just a few lessons, the piano gave her a whole new source of inspiration — and sparked the writing of a brand new song. Sometimes a new instrument unlocks something you didn't know was there.
“It is a privilege and pleasure to learn from someone who plays an instrument so masterfully. Roy has a way of seeing the musician within — making the unattainable tangible. His approach nurtures innate talent rather than burdening it with theory.”— Jaya D., Puna, HI
“If you’re thinking about learning the piano, don’t wait — run to Roy Dahan! After 30 years of not touching a piano, I went to him with many fears and left with incredible energy, new skills, and even the ability to compose. Roy, with his warm and calming aura, managed to bring out a hidden talent in me and rekindle my love for the piano.”— Ilyanne C., Los Gatos, CA
“Roy brings such an emotional, creative side to music. After just a few lessons, I’ve learned more about having fun, improvising, and exploring melodies on the piano than I had in my entire life before. I’m grateful and excited to keep dancing and playing on the keyboard with Roy’s guidance.”— James E., Pahoa, HI
“Working with Roy has been truly transformative. Not only is he an exceptionally talented musician, but he’s also a genuinely warm and kind person. Thanks to his teaching, I’ve made a significant leap in my playing — from a mediocre level to something I’m actually proud of. I’m so grateful I found him.”— Ari Shpania, New York, NY
“Finding Roy has truly been a gift, and I’m incredibly grateful he helped me rediscover my love for the piano. He’s not the kind of teacher who just tells you to follow the notes — instead, his unique approach lets you truly enjoy the music and connect with it. If you’ve ever thought it was too late to learn but you still have that little spark, I highly recommend giving yourself the gift of learning piano with Roy.”— Galit Bar, San Jose, CA
“If you are looking for a piano teacher who defies the traditional approach, look no further. I started with zero knowledge — I couldn’t find Middle C — and I honestly didn’t believe I could progress as quickly as I did. Instead of dry theory and repetitive scales, the focus is on intuitive techniques that get you playing real music immediately. I highly recommend Roy to anyone who wants to stop dreaming about playing the piano and actually start performing.”— Yifat Cohen, Livermore, CA
