Experienced tutor in Piano in Dallas, Phil offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Phil is and has been working with my daughter since she was 7, she is 13 now. He is patient kind, enthusiastic and conscious about her skill set and has helped her grow over the years. I would highly recommend him for piano or voice lessons.

Both my children have been learning from Phil Wolcott at Prestonwood Music for over 4 years. He has been the perfect teacher as I have seen my children develop their skills at BOTH playing piano and reading music! Very patient and always positively encouraging my kids in sharpening their playing skills. Mr. Wolcott has also been very accommodating in scheduling classes around our busy schedules.

My son has been taking lessons at Prestonwood Music Studio for 5 years and has loved it. He’s progressed so much in that time, and Phil is the most patient and kind teacher. I would recommend Prestonwood Music Studio to anyone wanting to learn in a fun and warm environment.

I have been a student of Phil’s for ten years! Four of those years were spent in piano, but a majority of them were spent in singing.

Phil is absolutely an incredible teacher and has taught me essentially everything I know about the art of singing. I’ve excelled in most of the environments I’ve sung in, standing out due to the techniques and qualities I gained from my lessons with Phil.

I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to sing, beginner, intermediate, or professional alike.

I have been a student here for 4 years. Phil is an amazing teacher, and I have learned and grown so much in that time.

Some studios will teach you a few songs and that's it. Prestonwood doesn't teach songs, they teach you to sing - and to sing properly.

We spent the first year just training my voice and developing tone and technique. Only then did I attempt my first real piece. Phil makes sure you have the building blocks to sing the music you love, better than you thought you were able to.

Phil Wolcott knows what he's doing. He's been a professional singer, sung opera, oratorios, musical theater and more. He knows what it takes to be good, and he doesn't just tell you - he works with you to show you why it works and how you can do it better.

One of the best things is that Phil knows what I'm capable of even when I don't and sets pieces that allow me to aim beyond what I can do today. At every steps he teaches the techniques that will help me to achieve the goal, and never loses patience - even when I don't get it right the first few times.

He's not the kind of teacher that pushes students in a direction - he encourages, supports and works on areas for improvement.

I have worked with Phil both in his studio and online, and he is a great teacher in both places. I continue to grow in confidence and ability (slowly) but my lessons are the highlight in each week.

My sister gave me an old 🪗 accordion for my 70th birthday. I had had accordion lessons when I was 7 and 8 years old. After my family moved to Texas and out in the country, I couldn’t continue lessons. Now with retirement and accordion in hand, I set out to find a teacher. Phil Wolcott was willing to take me on. After 2 years taking lessons, I had learned more than I’d thought possible and I wanted more. I started piano lessons as well. Phil Wolcott is a great teacher. He has a ton of patience and a wry sense of humor. His lessons are helpful, informative and fun.
