Welcome!

I’m Kam Franqui, and I’m thrilled to help you or your child discover the joy of music through private piano lessons. With over 30 years of teaching experience, I know firsthand how transformative learning to play music can be. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills, I’d love to guide you on your musical journey.

About Me

I began my formal training at the age of 8 with private piano lessons and picked up the cello the following year. By 12, I was chosen by the Johnstown Symphony Orchestra as the top cellist in my school. At 15, while still mastering Beethoven Sonatas, I started teaching private lessons—and I’ve never stopped.Teaching has always been my calling. Music is such a powerful way to express oneself, and helping others unlock that potential has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. Beyond music, I’ve also dedicated five years of my life to humanitarian work in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, which deeply shaped my approach to teaching and connecting with others.Over the years, I’ve taught at a variety of studios across the U.S., including Union Music in Worcester, MA, Chuck’s Music in New Milford, CT, Acadiana Academy of Music in Lafayette, LA, and The Music Box in Lafayette, LA. While I enjoyed teaching in studio settings, I’ve found that students thrive when they learn in their own homes—it creates a comfortable, natural environment that fosters accelerated learning.

What to Expect

I focus on creating a personalized, encouraging learning experience tailored to each student’s unique goals. Whether you’re interested in classical training, exploring contemporary styles, or just learning to play your favorite songs, I’ll work with you to build a foundation of technique, creativity, and confidence.Lessons are structured to be fun, engaging, and inspiring—because learning music should never feel like a chore.

What My Students Say...


"Kam is an excellent piano teacher. I have really enjoyed my piano lessons and have learned so much over the past few months.
I always look forward to my lessons. Kam makes them fun with her humorous nature.
She is always ready to listen and support what I want to learn. I feel lucky to have her as my piano teacher!"
-V.A.

"Kam has been a great piano teacher for me. I’m 46 years old and have always wanted to learn to play the piano since I was a child, but the circumstances never allowed it. Even though I took almost a year of piano lessons two years ago, I didn’t accomplish what I’ve been able to achieve in just a few months with Kam.
She not only has a great love and passion for music but also a genuine dedication to helping her students improve and develop the same joy she feels for it.
And remember, it’s never too late to learn!"
-Wandy S.

"My teacher Kam Franqui is very patient and loving. She helps you understand things you don’t understand in an easier way. I really enjoy her being my piano teacher and I hope she knows that’s she’s a really good teacher too…"-Issa C.
