Rexburg, ID Piano Lessons

I have been teaching and performing on piano for 30 years.
We work on sight reading, ear training, and theory.
I have an easy style and like my students to enjoy their lessons.

Basic music skills and reading. Fingering, scales and beginning songs for students to start building their piano skills,

Beginning piano lessons taught to kids ages 5 and up, and adults studying music for the first time. 90 min option added for multiple students going back-to-back.

The basic approach provides a series of exercises and music from simple to the more sophisticated, along with hints and tips for their completion.

*** Lesson Details ***
My lessons include proper posture, basic technique, theory, ear training exercises, a study of the classics along with hymns, if so desired. I typically use the Faber Piano Method books as a basis of each lesson at least for the beginning. I love teaching and helping students become accomplished musicians.

New Offering --- WunderKeys Preschool Piano -- specifically designed for the very young student (ages 4-6). There will be an additional $5/lesson charge for this lesson option. This is an excellent way to introduce the very young to the piano.

We also provide monthly workshops where students can get together with other students and participate in classroom learning with special guests.

I was first introduced to the Piano when I was 5. I quit soon after and didn't return to playing until I was 13. Now I can play hymns for Church meetings, sight read for choirs, and play Christmas duets with my mother. The piano is a great instrument to get your fingers moving, and to please your own mother with. Let me show you and play with you!
