Boring, OR Classical Piano Lessons

Nothing like opening up a book of music and playing a piece on the piano. We'll learn Mozart, Beethoven, Joplin and more!

Experienced Piano teacher available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of musical skills. I am classically trained, have played in blues/rock bands, and have some jazz improv experience. I like to use the Faber method books, since they include many fun teacher/student duets. I enjoy helping people to find the fun in playing piano!

With over 10 years of teaching experience, I am able to prepare students for polished, accurate, playing with an emotional connection. Beginners will learn to read music using method books that are supplemented with authentic classical pieces (as opposed to beginners' versions of popular pieces). Intermediate students will learn classical pieces from all musical eras. We will cover all major and minor scales, arpeggios, sight reading, and aural skills.

As a classical piano student you will learn music theory, sight reading, and various classical styles of piano technique.

Learn to play Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart, and more!

I've played piano since I was 5 years old. Playing piano has greatly influenced my life, as I went to college for piano and composition. I love the piano and I love teaching piano. I teach all levels of piano with an emphasis on performance technique, practice technique, theory, and creativity. I encourage students to explore their own musical feelings and voice. I teach all genres of piano- not only Classical. If a student wants to learn to accompany or write their own music, I can help! If a student is interested in traditional Irish piano accompaniment, I can teach that!

Fun, interesting, and quirky, but completely personalized to you and your goals. We'll work on your sound, your touch, and your connection to the piano. We'll discuss and develop your technique while solidifying your musical style. We'll have fun, we'll laugh, but ultimately you'll grow a lot. This is an upbeat, encouraging, but fast-paced learning environment. You'll come away exciting about the piano, excited to practice, and feeling like you've learned a lot--all while having loads of fun!

Your musical goals are my number one concern by providing you with a solid foundation in which to grow in any direction of your choosing. I have been teaching and working in many facets of the music industry for over 45 years which gives me a unique perspective in helping guide you to success. Your lessons are completely tailored to your individual needs utilizing established and customized content.

Classical piano is very beautiful. Your fist homework assignment is to listen to it regularly to begin to understand it. Piano is a very logical instrument. I will break everything down for you in a simple way for you to understand. We will learn different styles and genres to make things interesting. We will learn how to write a song, play along to a track and learn to play by ear and by reading music.
I am excited to get to know you and help you grow in your talent!

I am a classically trained pianist and have over 18 years of private teaching experience. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music and I teach a variety of styles including classical, pop, jazz, rock, and other current music styles. I teach all levels of students from as young as four years old through any age adult. I am a member of a professional music teaching association and I do two (non mandatory, but encouraged) recitals a year with my students. I also have entered students in competitions, prepared them for auditions, talent shows, and worked on composing their own music as well. I also sing and write music. Over the years I also have helped students to develop their vocal skills and ability to play piano while they sing.

I enjoy teaching the fundamentals to beginners and building a good solid base for further music development. I also enjoy working with experienced ...
