    (3)
    I have been playing and studying piano for over 16 years. I graduated from University of Colorado at Boulder with a Bachelor's of Arts in Piano Performance. I have studied with a wide variety of teachers, which gives me the ability play various composers and styles. I teach beginner/intermediate students of all ages. We will make a personalized goal for each student, and then create a plan to reach this goal. BEGINNER STUDENTS Students will first learn how to get comfortable at the piano. They will learn where they keys are and the correct posture/hand placements. In addition, students will learn how to... - Read Music - Rhythm Practice - Basic Music Theory INTERMEDIATE STUDENTS For students who are already familiar with piano, we will work to advance those skills, and introduce more challenging repertoire. Students will study topics such as... - Building technique - Basic/Intermediate Music Theory - Dissecting a piano score - Sight Reading

    My kids love their weekly lessons with Colby! I can really hear the difference in their playing ever since they started lessons with her. Plus she has stickers, and everybody loves stickers.
