Scott Conti, born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in the suburbs of Old Bridge, NJ, came from an artistically gifted family. He picked up guitar playing in the ninth grade and began composing by the 12th grade. During his time in high school, Conti's musical compositions even appeared in short films by students from Rutgers University (Manson Gross School of the Arts), after which he began playing in local clubs and coffee houses. Conti attributes the very unique and original playing of Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi, along with guitar god Jimi Hendrix, as influences in his love of playing the electric guitar. Working in numerous cover bands seasoned his talents and opened doors to recording with other musicians. He also expanded to producing others, further broadening his musical horizons.

Located in Gilbert, Arizona, Jam With Jimmi T is a fun, family-focused private piano studio in the East Valley of Phoenix.


Jam With Jimmi T is very different to most traditional piano studios.

I love music......its my passion and my life..... BUT I hated taking lessons when I was a kid because they were boring and not much fun.

So all my lessons are focused on learning while having fun, and being creative. My students get a chance to really appreciate music, as well as learn piano and all it has to offer. At Jam With Jimmi T we learn through games, technology, curiosity and fun. I have created a fun, relevant and modern experience for all my students and I often mix current songs so my students can learn to play along.

We all love music. I believe everyone has the ability to make music. You can sing, stomp your feet, clap your hands or just enjoy listening. We all appreciates music in our own way. As a teacher my job is to find out whats the best way for you to experience music, whats the easiest and fastest way for you to learn and how to practice smart, fast and efficiently.

“My son looks forward to and enjoys his lessons with Jimmi each week, and my son is one of those high-energy kids who complains when he has to do anything “boring” or “work” related. Neither of these adjectives describe Jimmi! He is AMAZING with kids! Jimmi is FUN, which is what my son probably finds so engaging. Jimmi holds high standards for his students and doesn’t “pass” a song until it is performed accurately and proficiently. His teaching style is encouraging, entertaining, versatile, and his schedule is flexible (I have had to reschedule days and times due to sports’ schedules changing each season). I have seen a huge improvement in my son’s musicality and confidence in his ability since working with Jimmi. I highly recommend Jimmi as a teacher. Talented and professional, Jimmi is an all-around amazing musician and even more of an amazing person.

My mom forced me to go to piano lessons when I was a kid so I know what it feels like to have to go! Eventually I was glad she made me because music is such a huge part of my life. I love to create music, to play it, perform and teach.

My goal at Jam With Jimmi T is to make sure that no kid feels like I did. Music has so many positive benefits and I want to make sure that kids love to come here so they can develop their own appreciation for music. I offer a unique experience. I make it fun! I help students learn through creativity, technology and games.

I know that all kids love music but many resist taking lessons...why? Well first of all lessons are often not that fun. Kids feel pressure to perform for their teacher, they may feel scared to ask for help when they don't understand and this makes home practice harder.

They way I structure my piano lessons means that my students learn their music during the lessons. At my studio kids piano lessons are taught in a small group of students for an hour. During the hour there is plenty of time for students to master what they are learning and for me to integrate fun games and other teaching practices.

This means that students leave in a great mood feeling more positive about their abilities. They can continue to practice at home with less pressure and more confidence in themselves. This is such a great benefit of my model that helps both the kids and the parents, because parents don't have to nag their kids about lessons and practice!

While many parents may want private lessons for their kids, I find group lessons so much more effective for a number of reasons...

6. A Parents Lounge and Kids Korner to keep our valued families comfortable!

We understand the hustle and bustle of busy lives. Wind down while your kids are in class with our comfortable, warm and friendly waiting area. Instead of waiting in a music retail store showroom, our members enjoy a spacious, inviting parents lounge with comfortable chairs, Wi-Fi, phone charging stations, magazines, and filtered water. Your kids can play in our Kids Korner with cartoons, toys, books, and coloring pages, while you enjoy a shiatsu massage in one of our fancy massage chairs! Enjoy fresh organic coffee and tea at our coffee station! All of our classrooms have large viewing windows and cameras so you can always view the lesson. Or if you prefer, you can sit in on the private lesson anytime you like.

Most parents want to know what their child is learning in class. We understand that students cannot recall every detail from their lesson and that notebooks do get lost. To aid in this matter, we utilize the latest in LMS (Learning Management System) software. Every lesson or class is updated with notes on what was done in class and what to practice at home. Students and parents can conveniently log in to their portal on their smartphone, tablet, or personal computer. Inside the app, they can view all past lesson notes, view any additional materials uploaded by the instructor, such as sheet music and audio/video tracks, and leave messages for the instructor through the chat feature. Students can also log their practice time within the app, earn points, and see metrics on their progress.

In a Kindermusik Level 1 class, we enjoy exercises to assist toddler’s brain development; movement activities to build gross motor skills; vocal play to develop speaking and singing voices; and age-appropriate instrument exploration. We strive to equip parents as the most important teachers of their children.

"I would recommend this parent child class because I see how much my child enjoys it.

Level 2 is a class attended by older toddlers with their caregiver and allows the adult to interact and learn alongside their child in an unhurried and joyful manner. There are magical moments of connection and an opportunity for social engagement with other children while working on confidence, self-control and communications skills.

"The interaction of my daughter with other children in a music class for toddlers has helped her grow and learn!


​She looks forward to the class each week and I am amazed by all she's learned!"


In Level 3, we combine your preschooler’s natural love of music, storytelling, and imaginative play with age-appropriate activities that introduce early music concepts and foster independence, social and emotional skills, language growth, and self-control. Caregivers still attend class but are preparing their children for the school program when they will attend on their own.


"My son has loved Kindermusik from his very first class! He gets excited to attend class each week.


We have seen him learn so much from his teacher and the amazing curriculum.


And as parents, we found new ways to teach our child at home.


Kindermusik was a pleasant surprise in every way for us as parents."


His blanket become a superhero’s cape…A cardboard box doubles as her magic castle…kitchen chairs line up like a train…Sound like someone you know? In our Level 4 classroom we are as captivated by your preschooler’s creative spirit as you are and we’ve developed a drop-off class experience designed to tap directly into the power of their imagination. And now, together you can discover just how far a little imagination and a lot of music can go!

"This class is a great introduction to music for little ones. Rather than get started with formal music instruction, it is worthwhile for children to experience learning in a fun and interactive way. I love the small interactive learning environment and that the teacher seeks to get each child sharing his or her ideas. I have even seen my shy child transformed. I think every child can benefit from this program."


Using a small-group approach to music education, Kindermusik for the Young Child (Level 5) provides a pressure-free class where your child can develop a strong musical foundation by learning the concepts, language, notation, and vocabulary of music and its greatest composers. The program is designed to teach music history, music theory and introduce children to all the instruments of the orchestra. It also gives exposure to music from around the world. Graduates are then ready to take on private instruction.


"It is a pleasure to have Kindermusik graduates as beginning piano students. They have been given the best foundation for learning and taking on formal lessons. It is best to wait and have the children do Kindermusik first because they will make quicker progress." - A Piano Teacher for over 50 years.
