Harry Likas is a jazz pianist and teacher in Berkeley, offering piano lessons online and in person. He teaches through real songs, showing how harmony, rhythm, and melody fit together at the keyboard so you can play jazz, pop, and contemporary styles with confidence. His hand‑friendly system helps you move through chord progressions naturally—without stopping to calculate every detail—whether you’re reading a lead sheet or playing by ear.
Harry also maintains a library of 1,500 solo‑piano jazz‑standard arrangements and 65 tutorials at Patreon.com/HarryLikas. He is the longtime house pianist at the Berkeley City Club and performs for weddings and private events throughout the SF Bay Area. He contributed to Mark Levine’s "The Jazz Piano Book" and served as Technical Editor for "The Jazz Theory Book" also by Mark Levine.
“Harry, thanks for doing such a good job with your students.”
