SEATTLE PIANIST & KEYBOARDIST
Live piano for the moments that matter.
Ron Leonardi has spent thirty years at the keys — solo piano for weddings and senior living communities, and keyboards with some of Seattle's hardest-working bands. He creates experiences that are warm, familiar, and played entirely live.

TEACHING - PIANO LESSONS
Lessons that build real musicians.
