About Celine
I hold a MA in Piano Performance from Azusa Pacific University. I have been teaching piano for all ages and all levels since 2002. I had formal training in Suzuki pedagogy method from the Suzuki certified trainer. Over the last ten years, I have been integrating Suzuki method with various modern piano pedagogies to teach beginners and received positive feedback from students and parents. I believe that students under my integrated method usually progress much faster than the ones under traditional Suzuki method.
In addition to piano teaching, I also teach all levels of accordion and violin (Suzuki Method).
I am patient, friendly, cheerful and good at customizing my lessons to meet individual student's needs. I believe all students have potential to master skills as long as they have strong self-discipline, perseverance and supporti

About Marcel M.
Close
20+ years experience, CD recording, orchestra etc.!
EVERY MUSIC STYLE!
Teaching is more a hobby and pleasure for me than a side job. My students mostly have to remind me that the time is over and I have to let them go. ;)
As I said, it is passion and love for the music and this fantastic instrument. Send me a message if you have any questions.
If you don't own an instrument. No problem. I can provide a rental until we find the right instrument for you within you budget.
I am looking forward to hear from you.
About Marcel
I work as a tutor and mentor in many of those fields for years. It was and is a side business, but I always enjoyed teaching.
I am looking forward to move on with you and / or your kids.
Have a great day,
Marcel

I've been working with him for about a month now and I've grown to feel more comfortable speaking with my colleagues who are native German speakers.
If you want a native, professional teacher who can be fun...Marcel is your guy.

About Connor C.
Close
Accordion is one of my truest loves. I've been a musician as long as I can remember. I've been playing traditional Irish accordion for 6 years and have had 5 very talented teachers myself. I can apply my performance and teaching techniques to piano or button accordion. I've also played concert piano accordion for 6 years, and can teach the fundamentals of accordion playing, advanced technique and style for accordion, basic to advanced music theory, and general performance and practice techniques. I have several accordions that can be rented as well.
About Connor
I'm a film composer by trade, but I love teaching as well. I love sharing my passion for music with others. I have a BM from Appalachian State University in piano performance and music theory/composition. I also have an MFA in music composition for the screen from Columbia College Chicago. I studied abroad in Ireland for a summer and learned traditional Irish music. I've been playing piano and composing since I was a young child, and picked up folk instruments along the way. Folk music has been a constant source of joy in my life, and I am continually learning more about it. Music is what gets me out of bed in the morning!

Hello A little bit about my teaching style: I’m classically trained jazz pianist and accordionist and my teaching method caries the structure of traditional piano and accordion lessons as I remain open towards each student's individual way of learning, passion for music, and creativity. In my lessons students would come across genres such as classical, jazz, folk, rock, and other styles.

Plamen made this possible through high standards and incredible demonstrations. The crux of improvement is in repeating rhythms, melodies, and voicings that do not come easily. Plamen demanded this repetition because he cared about my development. When he demonstrated a tune, my living room became Carnegie Hall. His mastery meant that I could practice soloing in the higher register, for example, while he played a gorgeous foundation below.
Plamen has imbued my life with music and with pride.

About Kathy L.
Close
I'm excited about introducing the accordion to beginning students. I use a basic popular lesson format, while also gearing supplementary material to the interest of the student. Explore with me the wonders of the accordion!
About Kathy
I have loved and played the accordion my entire life. I am largely self taught, but in recent years have studied with internationally known accordion performer and instructor Beverly Fess. She has introduced me to the many shades of accordion. I play for personal enjoyment, and also enjoy performing solo and with area dance bands.
I am new at teaching accordion, but I have taught in other areas through the years. I would like to teach beginning students of all ages. No thrill is greater than learning to play an instrument, and the accordion is an exciting way to start as well as an intriguing new idea for people already enjoying music performance.
I would also love to work with people who have had accordion experience in years past and would like to develop or refresh skills.

Review by Nancy
"Grey hung in there even with all my connection problems. Then he taught me accordian information that I had been thinking about, but never knew the ans
wer to before, because I have been out of the picture for so long. It was just the right timing from my 5 previous lessons. I am looking forward to my next lesson. I just need to get in enough practice time. My learning curve is in my hands now. Until the next lesson.
Thanks Grey"

as I need to work on and both shows and tells me how to do that. He encourages questions as well as creativity that builds on the basics. He makes good use of the lesson time and is very encouraging.

"My name is Al Philipp, used to serve in ministry with Grey and what an awesome gift God has given him in music. Grey would play all kinds of music and my
favorites were the old hymns and the contemporary Christian music, but when he broke out the polka music it would get your heart pumpin and your feet jumpin. Yes Grey is very good with the accordion with a great personality to go along with his teaching ability. I highly recommend Grey if you are wanting to learn this instrument."
