Henry Smolen began studying piano with Christie Peery Skousen at 3 years old, and gave his first public performance in San Jose, CA, when he was five years old. A veteran of the concert stage, he has performed all over the country, making his orchestral debut at 8 years old with the El Camino Youth Symphony in Palo Alto, California. Since receiving his Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees from the Juilliard School, Henry has returned to the Bay Area to teach. Henry’s students love getting to explore every aspect of the piano, learning to be great musicians, and having fun while doing it!
At Peery Piano Academy our mission is to offer the highest quality musical and process training to teachers and students. We believe that quality training empowers students and teachers and makes possible all that music and life have to offer.
