My name is Lydia Cregar, and I have been playing piano since I was four years old. Growing up, I had endless opportunities to play in church, and I also played in many recitals. I could not imagine my life without the piano! However, it was not always that way… There were many times I did not care or want to continue, as most children do, but my parents made me continue. I am so incredibly thankful they did that! I cannot imagine if they had let me have my way. Being able to sit down and play truly whatever comes to mind, is an indescribable joy!

Growing up in Southern, AZ put me in a great place to travel to California for a higher musical education. I had the privilege of taking piano classes in San Deigo, CA with Rosie Mace, a talented teacher from Bulgaria. After studying with her, I switched to online lessons with Jaron Cannon, and Dr. Mike Zachary. Through these incredible teachers I have studied many different types of Classical music, technique, and spent over four years in the world of advanced music theory. I hope to never stop learning more about Classical music, and all it has to offer.

I have had the privilege of tuning pianos since 2023. I was honored to learn about tuning pianos from a talented technician in San Deigo, CA. Since then, I have become a certified technician through the Piano Technician Academy. Tuning and repairing pianos is something I greatly enjoy doing! I hope to never stop learning new things about my favorite instrument.

It is my ultimate desire to honor and please God in all that do. I have had the privilege of teaching piano since I was fifteen years old. I am so thankful for this skill that God has given me, and I desire nothing more but to pass it on to others, so that they can enjoy it as much or more than me.
