    About Dennis M.

    Dennis has been in the music scene for the last 25+ years. Starting piano at the age of 9, he didn't know that piano would become a fixture through the years. Dennis has a classical training background which then led him to other styles of influence such as Jazz, Gospel, & Blues genres. He holds a B.A. in Music from Portland Bible College and as a professional pianist he has taken on other musical roles; such as composition, arranging, and producer on many recording projects. Dennis has something to offer to all that want to learn how to play the piano. Whether it's learning for fun, or pursuing piano passionately; his method of teaching is one that will stick with you. "Playing piano is a lifetime experience; whether you do it professionally or for your own enjoyment, you will always learn something new. My hope is to pass along what I've learned to every student that I have the opportunity to teach." - Dennis Miclau. Whether you're just starting to learn piano for the first time or already learning and need someone to guide you along in your journey. I'm here to help coach and teach you to become successful in your piano learning and practice. I teach and coach pianists from all ages and all levels. My musical background starts from when I was 9 years of age. Classically trained and later was attached to other styles of music influence such as Jazz, Gospel, & Blues. I currently teach the following styles: Classical, Pop, Rock, Jazz, Gospel, & Blues Within those styles, I also have the experience to focus on teaching in the following areas: Improvisation, Ear Training, Sight Reading, Melody & Harmony, Jazz Chords & Voicings, Accompaniment Training, and much more. Send me a message if you are interested in having me teach you piano and or if you have any other questions. I'm here to help :)
