    About Joel Z.

    UPDATE: Available for online lessons at any location! I am a local Denver, CO music teacher currently accepting new students for beginner lessons on piano/keyboard, guitar, ukulele, and advanced songwriting, composition, and music theory. As an elementary school general music teacher I have taught hundreds of students the basics of playing instruments. We will learn beginner skills in performance including how to read, write, and interpret music on your instrument of choice. I draw from several pedagogical techniques including technology integration and distance learning procedures to create a curriculum that is fun, active, inquiry-based, and student-driven. I look forward to making music together soon!
