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!

Excellent instructor! Helped me get a deeper understanding of the piece I was practicing in lots of different ways: chord progression, themes, style, tone, and technique. I'm excited to practice the things I learned and return next week.

Working with Joel has been ideal. He is patient, knowledgeable and fun to work with. Joel is great at explaining things in a way that makes sense to a beginner. He gave me realistic goals that I could accomplish which really boosted my confidence. I history recommend him if you’re looking to improve in a low stress environment.
