While growing up in Adrian Michigan, Andy Palpant was encouraged to study music at a young age. He began piano lessons at the age of nine and soon discovered his knack for combining notes and reading music. "The first time I looked at a keyboard, it just made sense," Andy recalls. Andy is grateful for his mother's encouragement to have him continue piano lessons during high school and through college. Top professional musicians have recognized Andy's natural talent, giving him many opportunities to play for church choirs and accompany soloists. He has studied piano and music theory in Atlanta for several years and enjoys being an active member of MTNA Music Teachers National Association. Andy's musical roots are in hymns as well as the classics but welcomes the challenge of any style of music

Andy is a skilled IT professional and is the owner of Palpant & Associates, an Information Technology company specializing in small business IT but his heart is in music. Andy's love of piano, his playful approach to technique exercises, and instinctual teaching ability provide an effective learning environment for students of all ages.
