Piano Lessons in Goodyear. Amazing Teachers.

Lessons with me are like playing a video game that trains you to be good at music. Seriously. Every exercise we do will generate a score, and you can practice between lessons in order to “beat your high score” during the next one. Ask me anything!

Learning to play takes time and commitment but it also needs to be enjoyable. We will spend 30% of the time on theory and 70% on playing music from the method book, solo book or other.

Students will learn the fundamentals of playing the piano--everything from correct posture, reading by note, music theory, and performance preparation! As students progress, they can choose to focus more on Jazz, Broadway and movie themes, or Praise and Worship music. For more serious musicians, check out my Classical Piano page.

Teacher's Studio vs. In-home lessons:
Students

I have taught piano and jazz piano for more than 35 years. I presently teach jazz piano at the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra. I love to play and teach!

I have the natural ability to make students feel comfortable--to connect with them. I have loved the piano for most of my life and that genuine enthusiasm rubs off. I also have over 30 years of teaching experience with students from ages 5-83. I believe learning an instrument is the most rewarding thing you can do. It give emotions an outlet, reduces stress and for many of my students helps them forget the stress of the day.

Do you want to sing & play your favorite songs?

Do you dream of writing your own songs?

I have been teaching music privately since 2009 and LOVE to help my students sing and play their favorite songs all while becoming a well rounded musician.

We will get to the joy of playing as quickly as possible and as we go along we will fill in the music fundamentals - reading and writing music, rhythm, technique, songwriting, music theory and more. It will be a fun and enriching experience.

I can't wait to connect with you - to support and challenge you and help you make your musical dreams come true.
