Piano Lessons in Eugene. Amazing Teachers.

I have played piano since I was five-years-old. I had an amazing teacher who was always engaging and fun -- I strive to be like her with my students. I generally use Alfred or Bastian Methods to start out and then adjust according to my students' needs. I encourage daily practice and always am willing to consult with parents of younger students on how to implement this. I also love to encourage my students to chose music they'd like to learn!

Students can first and foremost expect to an enjoyable time obtaining a good foundation in piano technique and the art of musical expression. Whether the student prefers Classical music or popular or Broadway tunes, I am there to help master the repertory.

Whether you've never touched a note or have been playing/singing/writing for years, my focus is on your individual goals as a musician and making sure that I give you the proper tools to be the most well-rounded musician possible. I am a composer, pianist, and singer originally from Cleveland, Ohio with eight years of education experience ranging from young beginners to advanced and experienced musicians, covering many styles of music. Hope to have the chance to work with you!

Teacher for two years experienced in beginner to intermediate students. I generally start my classes by seeing what the students will benefit the most and start helping the student increase their ability to play the piano using a variety of exercises and having them choose a piece of their choice to work on. If the student wants to learn more than just piano, I'm also a composer that can help them understand more about music and beyond the instrument itself.

Piano lessons are strictly for beginners or for students who have little to no training. The first few lessons are dedicated to learning the proper playing technique and practicing several exercises to increase the hand’s coordination, flexibility, and mobility. Once the proper technique has been established we move on to Suzuki method and a series of Etudes catered to the student’s learning needs.

I've been teaching piano for over 20 years. My background is in classical, musical theater and pop, so whatever your musical goals--I'll help you to achieve them. I believe in a stress-free approach to learning piano and my students will tell you that my first priority is that piano lessons are fun and educational. I include lesson books in my lesson rates, so there are no lesson books to purchase. I'm looking forward to seeing you at the piano!
