My name is Bijan Jason Salehi and I was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky.  I am married and have two children, a daughter who's 14 that plays violin and a son who's 9 whom I teach piano also.   I started taking piano lessons at the age of 7 and my father was diligent in making me practice 1 hour a day so I quickly progressed as children often do. I was fortunate to have two fantastic teachers as a kid that focused on classical music training. I competed every year in the Lexington Federated Music Festival as well as various 4H events, recitals and even appeared on television twice. (local television but I still felt famous). Entering college I auditioned for Transylvania University in Lexington, Ky. and was awarded a scholarship for piano, performing all 3 movements of the Pathetique Sonata by Beethoven. A few years later I chose to study with a teacher that focused on blues, jazz, pop and boogie woogie/rock piano. This turned out to be a real passion of mine and I supplement this style in my teachings if the student is interested. My goal is to simply inspire a love for music and offer knowledge, support and encouragement for all my students so they are able to play piano for a lifetime.
