Morrison, CO Classical Piano Lessons

Classical Piano is vital for all aspects of learning both keyboard and piano. As soon as possible I introduce the great periods of Music, from Baroque to the present day. The great masters help students to be better musicians through the discipline of music.

As a composer and classical singer, I have been trained in piano, including private studies for 4 years. I don't consider myself a Pianist but I am legitimately qualified to iniciate beginners into a solid technique, developing the student's musical alphabetization and imagination to an intermediate level.

Students will work towards learning music by the great classical composers such as Mozart, Bach, Haydn, Beethoven, Kabalevsky, Schubert, Grieg and many more! In addition to classical studies, we will visit other genres of music including Jazz, Blues, Folk, Pop, etc. However, creating a classical foundation is fundamental and essential to developing proper technique and artistry.

Tailored lessons to meet the needs of each student at his or her ability and pace. Students work on theory, ear training, technique, and composition. Students will learn music from each musical period, including contemporary.

Can you imagine being able to play the piano, even complex and virtuosic music, with ease and effortless musicality? Believe it or not, it is possible!

Playing the piano with good technique and understanding can produce the most amazing music without straining, pain, difficulty or struggling while playing; and yes, you can do it too! This is what I teach my students so they are able to enjoy their playing and not feel like they're not making progress or that they're just going through the motions. There is a way to play the piano that makes it efficient and enjoyable, and I incorporate these ideas directly into the pieces the student wants to work on. I work with classical and contemporary piano music as well as theory, composition and piano technique, all of which help make piano playing as excellent as it can be! Check out my videos (below) and YT channel to see effortless playing at work!

I will work with the student on how to practice the concepts needed for each piece and ...

With more than 35 years professional experience both performing and teaching, I understand what it takes to become comfortable and confident at the keyboard while having fun along the way. Every student has unique goals and abilities and I love matching their special talents to the methods and techniques that will help them feel successful and develop their love and appreciation for music.

I love teaching piano and have been doing so for eighteen years! I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in music education and am able to adapt to different students' learning styles. I enjoy teaching all ages from four to adult and all styles of music, and I feel that it is important to make lessons fun for students. Adults will find that at the end of a year of lessons, they will be able to read music well enough to play the kinds of music that they most enjoy! I also teach flute, voice, guitar, drums, and songwriting.

Are you looking to start piano, brush up on previously learned skills, or desire to learn piano for fun? I specialize in beginner to intermediate levels and all ages are welcome! I have taught for over 10 years and adapt each lesson to fit the individual need and style. I am great with young children-gentle and kind with a passion to be creative in teaching. My goal is to help each student understand music concepts, grow in confidence and celebrate achievements!

I love working with kids and have been a part of music education for the past 6 years. I love to bring my energy to my lessons to engage the kids and make music FUN.

Lessons with Nancy will include games, creative exercises, and many "create your own song" activities. When Nancy isn't teaching, she enjoys biking, hiking, and playing tug-of-war with her dog.
