Have you always wanted to PLAY the piano creatively?

Classical music training creates pianists with the skills necessary to read and play the music of other composers. Piano Freeology is an innovative approach that goes further to provide the tools, inspiration, and freedom to create your own music.

  • Adults that want to learn to play the piano without the rigid constraints of classical teaching, embracing a new and creative approach that fosters faster progress and greater satisfaction.

  • Pianists who suffer from perfectionism, imposter syndrome, stage fright, or self doubt and want to change that mindset.

  • Individuals who thrive on community and accountability for their growth in piano study

“Freeology is the name of the kind of inquiry that frees the mind of limiting thoughts that contradict reality. It’s like philosophy, but with the specific goal of liberating ourselves from assumptions and misconceptions that diminish our capacity to create and enjoy our lives.”

— Forrest Kinney

 

“Piano Freeology has the specific goal of liberating ourselves from the assumptions and misconceptions that diminish our capacity to create and enjoy our own music at the piano.”

— Wendi Kirby

  • "The way you are explaining the concepts and the nurturing, safe environment you have created is such a powerful combination. I am feeling such growth and excitement being ignited inside myself. I just wanted to say thank you and let you know how very grateful I am to be a part of this. You have such a rare gift and beauty inside your soul and it emanates in a way that feels somehow spiritual to me. I'm so looking forward to seeing what continues to blossom inside of me by being a part of this community."

    Angela R.

  • "I began taking piano lessons with Wendi 18 months ago as a beginner, and I can honestly say it’s been one of the more rewarding experiences of my adult life. I am proud of the progress I’ve made thanks to her patient guidance and encouragement. I’ve even composed a few songs of my own and feel comfortable performing in front of friends and family, something I never thought I’d do! Wendi’s monthly Freeology sessions are another highlight. These sessions are inspiring—they offer a sense of community, exposure to new techniques, and a gentle push to keep learning and growing. Seeing what other students are working on keeps me motivated and opens my eyes to new creative possibilities. Her teaching has not only made me a more capable pianist but has also opened up a more joyful and creative lifestyle."

    Martin K.

  • “I appreciate so many aspects of Wendi’s teaching…how knowledge, technique and theory serve the art of creation through the heart. Piano Freeology events are intimate, a thoughtful combination of healing modalities, with piano as the ground or playing field for spiritual growth, and just the right amount of risk taking."

    Dani H.

  • "She is helping me more than any other teacher I've had to focus and play fearlessly. In a very short time, (now about four months), I play more expressively than ever before. And I do so with far less performance anxiety when playing for others. This makes me so happy. My confidence is growing by the day. Not only have I made progress battling performance anxiety; because of the improvisational work, I am able to sit at a piano without music and create music that I love. Plus, starting to accompany myself singing is a lifelong dream come true. In addition to the increased confidence I am experiencing, I feel grounded at the piano, in better control of the instrument and my emotions, thus better at expressing both the music and my feelings about it. I feel greater freedom. Learning piano as impacted other areas of my life. I feel more open."
