"My son Mike took lessons from Matt for 2 years and really enjoyed it. He and Mike really hit it off. Matt has very advanced active listening skills and
really tunes in to providing his students with a positive learning experience. Matt's passion is music, and he wears it on his sleeve. He has quit his "day job" and totally dedicated himself to music. When he isn't teaching, he's either learning or playing somewhere. Thank you Matt for being such a positive influence on Mike's life"

About Gwendolyn
I currently teach private lessons in saxophone, flute, and piano and have experience working with individuals as well as small groups. In 2007, I received a Bachelor’s degree in Music Performance from the University of Washington where I studied jazz and classical saxophone. For the past 15 years, I have been performing with many professional groups, ranging in styles from big band jazz, classical, samba, funk, to gospel and blues.
As a private instructor, I genuinely encourage efficient practice, solid technique and good tone quality, as well as an appreciation for music. I also incorporate the study of music theory and the study of music fundamentals in my lessons. I have experience teaching the genres of classical, jazz, modern, folk, and pop music and hope to extend the joy of learning music to my students. Over the past ten years I

About Andrew
My name is Andrew. I am a private guitar teacher in the Puyallup,WA area. I have been teaching professionally in the area for the past 6 years, and have been playing and studying the guitar since I was 11 years old. Music is my life, and teaching people to play this music on guitar is my passion. My focus is on the individual student, not on just one uniform curriculum. I teach each student at his/her own pace and in their musical interests, focusing on style, technique, and music theory. I have had many successful students over the years and have shown them that playing guitar is fulfilling, educational, and most of all fun. It is rewarding for both my students and myself to further this musical experience.

I continue to learn and improve my teaching by attending workshops, conferences, and be involved in music teacher groups. These are both in person, social media, and podcasts. I believe it is important to play your instrument if you teach it. My BM degree from UW-Stevens Point taught me how music is important in so many parts of life. My family of 6, includes 3 sons and 1 daughter. My youngest is a sophomore at Thomas Jefferson.

About Melanie
Hi!
I have been playing piano for 18 years and am excited to share the passion with others!
Music has been a special part of my life since I was 4 years old. I took lessons for 10 years and continued to play in college for the Naval Academy Women's Glee Club as the accompanist. While with the Glee Club, I had the opportunity and honor to sing for two Presidents and play piano for one, and sing with Beyonce as part of Obama's Inauguration Celebration.
I specialize in teaching children as I put a great emphasis on fun! I want students to have joy playing before it gets difficult in order to encourage them to play longer. Part of that is I encourage learning songs that they are interested in tandem with the course so they continue to love what they play.
I'd love to meet you and share my love with you.

I am a professional opera singer and voice teacher, based in Seattle, WA. I received my Bachelor's of Music from The Juilliard School and my Master's of Music from Mannes The New School for Music both located in New York City. I have performed in theaters all over the U.S. Most recently I performed with the Seattle Gilbert and Sullivan Society in their production of Patience. Last summer I was happy to be an artist with the Princeton Festival in New Jersey where I covered the role of Marzelline in Beethoven's Fidelio.

o teach musical theory of varying levels, basic foreign language diction and dramatic interpretation to my students. While I specialize in classical music, I also enjoy teaching musical theater as well. Good vocal technique can and should be applied to any kind of singing!

My teaching style is structured and focused. Then, I flex. I create a plan according to the goals and abilities of each student. Everyone learns differently! I listen to your goals and pay attention to how you best learn. A detailed studio policy and my overall philosophy of teaching will be given to you at your first lesson. My private home studio is in South Tacoma just off Hwy I-5.

Hello and welcome to my studio!
Evergreen Piano Studio provides both in studio and online piano lessons through Skype.
If you are taking lessons in studio, you will be playing on a very nice Yamaha upright acoustic piano. My studio is comfortable, a little quaint and has a waiting room for parents and siblings. My teaching style is demonstrator/facilitator, and I am a calm and patient teacher. If you're not put off by animals, (a dog and a couple of cats to be exact), come and see me for a consultation.
If you are interested in online Skype lessons, all you will need for set up is the Skype program downloaded, and a laptop, or (desktop in close proximity of the keyboard). Extra cameras and microphones may be added but are not necessary as long as I have a good view of the keyboard. Also, printer scann

Understanding that everyone is unique, the curriculum may be customized upon request or need.

Ms. Linda was such a blessing to our daughter! I was always impressed with her enthusiasm and passion for teaching piano. We appreciated the many ways she challenged our daughter as a piano player, and how encouraging she was along the way. She is an excellent piano teacher for sure, and I would highly recommend her!

My friend, whose son received a music scholarship as well as enjoyed his piano lessons highly, recommended Linda to me. Lindaâs great experience and personal methodologies guide students in the shortest way to success and brings an appreciation of music into their lives. No moments during her lessons are wasted for unrelated matters â she always keeps students focused by moving from one activity to another, and by being friendly and encouraging. She is always flexible with her schedule and pleasant to work with.
She is a rare instructor who works hard to give students the opportunity to perform in public venues a few times a year (the most favorite moments to my boys), which make children self-confident and proud to demonstrate the fruit of their effort.

My children have been with Linda since they started piano at age 5, they are now 16 & 14. They simply love her. I appreciate her willingness to flex to their different styles of learning and engagement. I gave both the option to stop lessons after 8th grade, neither one wanted to stop so as a Junior & Freshman in high school they are still with Linda.

My children have been taking piano lessons at Evergreen Piano Studio since 2013. I know for sure that this place is the right place for my children because they don't complain about going or wanting to quit. Ms. Linda has a calm personality and provides honest and direct feedback to the children on where they need to improve and the method for improving. Since our children have been taking lessons at Evergreen Piano Studio, their knowledge and performance has significantly improved. Excellent teacher and mentor for our children.
Professional, comprehensive, and personalized study of the piano. Her years of experience are obvious in her ability to approach each student as an individual with a unique learning style. Thanks for giving us the gift of music! --Sandra S.

I am a teacher and performer in the greater Puget Sound area. Resident to Tacoma for 20+ years. I teach cello, theory and beginning piano lessons. My very nature is to be a teacher and I thoroughly enjoy it. I like the challenge of creatively finding the right approach for each student to be successful. I am thankful to have and have had so many students over the years who become my friends in the process.
I have taught hundreds of students since 1994 - many happy to play in their living room and many off to conservatory and a career of music. Besides private lessons, I have taught in group settings at Pierce College, Tacoma Youth Symphony and Tacoma Public Schools.
Most every weekend I am performing with a variety of groups including my own Arcobaleno Strings and several other local orchestras.
