I offer a novel approach to piano lessons, formed by my perspective as an adult learner, which emphasizes chord and harmony right from the beginning as well as more standard melody and scale work.

Part of the reason someone wants to play a piano has to do with the fact that the piano is an instrument that can play harmonies all by itself. So why do so many beginning lessons stress only one note at a time melodies? Well, you need to learn how to do those things, and yes, some scales and other technique helps, but it's also possible to learn how to do basic harmony right from the start.
A lot of it begins with understanding some basic harmony principles, such as a how to construct a major or minor chord from ANY note, and what the "Pop Music Four Chords" are, and why they are so prevalent and let you play so many different songs, but most of all, there needs to be excitement about practice. I love to work at my instrument, and I hope this is infectious.
I am willing to take students who range in ability from approximately prepatory to grade 4 in RCM, although it's optional for us to use the RCM system.
So, what do you want to play? What kind of piano player do you hope to be?
