Hubbard, OR Piano Lessons

For ages 8 and up, students will learn to play through easy songs and exercises. Sight reading, note recognition and good playing technique are also taught to maximize progress into more difficult pieces.

After the basics are established, we will then move toward the kind of music the student is most interested in learning to play, whether classical or contemporary in nature.

Lessons proceed at a easy pace, and moved forward based on the student's understanding. No artificial pace is employed to "push" progress forward beyond the student's ability to address and learn.

Feel free to ask questions before signing up for lessons.

Please note: For children under 8 years old, you will need to contact me prior to scheduling lessons (via the "Ask A Question" feature) to discuss their particular needs and readiness to begin this regimen.

I teach using a combination of your books and Hal Leonard method books depending on your level. I specialize in playing ergonomically and musically so that you can enjoy making music!

Beginning students, intermediate, some advanced, including theory and composition, performance, improvisation, notation, acoustic and electronic keyboards.

I have been teaching piano since 2010 in a wide variety of settings, styles, and age groups. It is never too early or late to begin leaning piano!

I tailor my teaching approach for the specific needs and goals of each student, always putting their priorities first. While I am versed in theoretical approaches and using method books like Piano Adventures and the Hal Leonard series, I am also fluent in working on contemporary music with a focus on ear training and improvisation.

I offer piano lessons to beginning and intermediate students. Lessons can be for piano only, or integrated into your flute lessons.

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!

Students will experience beginning lessons that are fun and will learn piano efficiently and performance quality. Because I'm a jazz musician I teach piano with fun styles and students will learn piano well and have fun.

Piano can be fun and easy if we start off right! I like to teach my students WHY we play the way we play. I use music theory to help them understand what they're doing when playing the piano: tapping the keys with your fingers, tapping the rhythm with your head and feet, reading the sheet music with your eyes and brain, hearing the beautiful song you're playing... If we approach the subject from all sides, we can accomplish most any songs you set your mind to!

I am totally responsible and focus on student's skills. I will try to teach them the ability of playing, not just learing a few songs.I use my academic skills to help them if they want to continue.

I believe that music is a fundamental part of human expression created by God, and my heart’s desire is to use music to express a meaningful and edifying message in an effective, beautiful and creative way to God and to others. My intention with my students is to instill the same principles and desires in them through musical instruction and coaching, technical training, aural skills, exploration of quality musical literature, and performance opportunities.
