Teaching Philosophy: "Everyone has the ability to learn how to play music! I don’t believe in a one size fits all approach; every student has a unique set of goals, musical interests and learning styles. A knowledge of music theory can add a whole new level of connection and understanding when learning a piece of music. I believe that real progress takes time, and that it’s important to break down a difficult challenge into manageable chunks. Learning music is incredibly rewarding, and the skills learned translate into many other parts of life!"
Bryce was raised in Cape Cod, MA, and started playing piano at the age of 6. Growing up, he also learned clarinet and bass guitar for school music groups. At the age of 16, after being selected as jazz pianist for the MMEA South East District jazz band, he received a scholarship to study with the late jazz legend Billy Taylor, at his acclaimed “Jazz in July” program at Umass Amherst. The following year, he received a scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music. Bryce graduated from Berklee in 2011, with a Bachelors of Music with a dual major of Electronic Production and Film Scoring.
Since graduating from Berklee, Bryce has done lots of different jobs related to music, including teaching, video game sound design, electronic music production, scoring for short films, podcasts, commercials and web based media, as well as testing and development for electronic keyboards and music production software. In 2018, Bryce released a full length album entitled “Reflections”, a collection of music for yoga and meditation, which is available on iTunes, Spotify and more.
Today, Bryce keeps busy playing keyboards as a soloist and with his band throughout New England. His wedding, event and party focused cover band, “Legends of Summer”, has won accolades from the Knot and the Improper Bostonian, and plays upwards of 30 weddings every year. Bryce is also a member of the National Piano Guild.
Bryce has been teacher for Note-worthy Experiences since September 2019 and has been teaching since 2010. You can learn more about Bryce and listen to his music at his website, brycekanzer.com.

My son has really enjoyed his piano lessons with Bryce. Bryce does a great job engaging with his students and encouraging them to push out of their comfort zone. He has also made it fun and motivating by introducing different genres of music from Start Wars, to Holiday Music, to Bach. It has also been good for my son to have a male teacher; he really looks up to him and wants to do better!
