Music Lessons in Maple Valley, WA. It's your time.

Hi everyone!! This is Shien Yuin (Naomi). I am an experienced piano teacher of 18 years, teaching students of all ages! I absolutely enjoy helping my students progressing at every stage of their learning!

I personally handpick the materials for my students that suit their learning needs. The number-1 philosophy of my music teaching is to go on the journey with my students to discover the joy of music that enriches their lives, while building a strong foundation of playing techniques.

As my studio is growing, please contact me to check for the latest availability. I look forward to hearing from you.

I use age designated books for the student to learn. That is pre-k books for those that are not reading, three different series of piano books for ages 7 to 12, and an older beginner for teens, also adults - those books will vary. I not only teach notes, but I hope that my students will be able to play in their adult lives by teaching and knowing their knowledge in tests and conversations.

Students must have a piano.

I hold a bachelors degree in Music Education. I have just completed my Masters in Music Education degree and am eager to build up a woodwind studio again! Clarinet is my primary instrument and can teach beginning, intermediate and advanced students. I also can teach beginning and intermediate sax and flute. I strive to create experiences with my students where instant success is being achieved in each lesson. I love to incorporate fun and variation in my teaching, no two lessons are the same!! Its never to late to begin learning an instrument, all ages and abilities are welcome!

This covers everything from medieval-era style to modern classical

As a vocal teacher, I am able to teach my students how to sing in a mix with a relaxed larynx. This allows students to sing many styles of music properly and in a vocally healthy way. Singing through the bridges and expanding the vocal range is also emphasized. We will work on proper vowel placement as well. I teach ear training and can work with students on sight singing and interval training. I encourage my students to learn all styles of singing including classical, rock, pop, broadway and jazz. I've also worked with several singer/songwriters, helping to polish original songs and have even coached them in the studio.

My lessons are about building stabile technique, creating expressive music, working on orchestra parts, preparing for chair auditions, getting comfortable with sight reading and enjoying chamber music.
