Just look at this piano. It is easily one of the most stunning instruments we've ever had in our showroom, and it perfectly showcases Steinway's status as not just the best piano maker in the world, but also as a true master of woodworking. This Crown Jewel series model L has been wrapped in Kewazinga Bubinga, also known as "African Rosewood". It is a highly sought after wood from West Africa, known for its intricate grain that perfectly plays with the light and turns this 5'10" grand into an absolute work of art. Bring this piano into your home and you'll have a conversation piece that will elevate any room it's placed in. Of course, this piano is more than just something beautiful to look at, it is a Steinway piano through and through, with their patented accelerated action, hexagrip pinblock, and diaphragmatic soundboard. These features and more turn playing this piano into an unforgettable experience. The tone is wonderfully rich, with a deep warm base, and a clear treble. The action is smooth, quick to respond to the fastest of passages. This piano came from a single owner, who purchased it new and cared for it regularly until it was placed in our showroom. New, this model sells for $111,900, yet for a fraction of the price you can own this model in like-new condition for only $39,995 (financing available). If you want a piano that will stop guests dead in their tracks as they walk by, something that looks as good as it sounds, this is the piano for you. Included in the purchase price is a complimentary move, tune, and a 10 year parts and labor warranty. Give us a visit, and try it out today!

Neal Lukenbill
Guitar, Bass Guitar, Ukulele
Hello, my name is Neal Lukenbill and I have been a music teacher now for over a decade. Making music is my passion and I believe sharing that gift with my students is a privilege. I work
hard to understand each and every one of my students; individual needs for growth and adopt each lesson plan to cater to those needs. I have taught all ages and people from all walks of life
and genuinely believe everyone has what it takes to play beautiful and passionate music.
I studied jazz and classical music at Millikin University back in my home state of Illinois. I have worked in several rock bands, led a few jazz combos and performed music all around the
Chicago and Milwaukee area. I have a home studio where I write, record and produce music with Ableton live 10. More recently I've been producing an audio drama that I score music for.
I look forward to meeting all students who come to me to learn and I can't wait to get you playing!

Gregory Hasson
Guitar, Bass Guitar
_edited.jpg)
My name is Gregory Hasson and I have been teaching guitar around the valley for half of a decade now. As a teacher I really enjoy working towards what inspires my students musically, and accomplishing their individual goals involving the instrument and music. That being said, I enjoy using my experience with skills such as, learning songs, creating a practice routine, reading/music theory, ear training, improvising, and composition to provide my students with a strong musical foundation from which their own musical personality can blossom.
In addition to teaching music I also play at venues around the valley in various iterations of jazz bands. Drawing from my professional experience I get to pass on many of the lessons I’ve learned about professionalism, playing in a band, and musicianship for students who are interested.
I am a graduate from Arizona State University with a Bachelors of Music(Jazz Performance).

Alan Christenson
Scruggs Banjo, Clawhammer Banjo
Growing up, I couldn’t pass an instrument without wanting to play it. This led to studying the saxophone from middle school through college and picking up the guitar, organ, and voice training along the way. But when a friend introduced me to the banjo ten years ago, it was love at first sight. Since then, I’ve studied both Clawhammer and Scruggs style. I play banjo locally with my band The Flatirons.
My goal as a teacher is to help new students understand the banjo, develop good technique, and progress to where they can enjoy performing and playing with others.
I have a minor in music from Brigham Young University.
