Piano Lessons in North Juanita. Amazing Teachers.

I have been teaching piano in the Seattle area for close to ten years. I have worked with young beginners to intermediate and some advanced students. My methods are eclectic and I often draw from the Kodaly Method for beginners. I encourage my students to sing along while they play to reinforce learning, accessing multiple neural pathways.

I teach my students to read music and play with feeling and heart. I instill a love of music in my students by creating musical moments in them and expose them to a wide variety of genres and styles. Students will learn basic technique, theory, improvisation, and performance etiquette, all while having fun!

I teach pianists up to the advanced level, roughly.

Students will learn how to read music and gain foundational piano skills

*all lessons are always taylored to be appropriate vocally and dramatically for age, voice type, and ability

Teaching piano begins with learning, playing, knowing, and loving the piano and the music it can produce. You will learn the music theory (scales to modes, rhythm, music signs), develop a good piano technic, improve sight reading. I teach classical and contemporary styles.

Student will get a comprehensive instruction on piano performing, including basic technique building, literatures from the Suzuki methods, and selections from a wide range of technique books such as Alfred and Hal Lenord.

Besides being fun and instructive, my class has the purpose of addressing knowledge according to the student's interests and need. With teaching experience for about 12 years already, it is important to me to have a connection with my students. I am a pianist with a strong foundation in Classical Music, Composer, and Vocalist, and I would like to offer opportunities for exposure for those ones interested. I do record and produce my own students because I believe it is important to achieve goals in everything we do with passion and dedication. I see music as a positive tool from different perspectives; to develop personalities, to create an inner a more positive world, to communicate and express. We never know what is really inside of our souls until we get in touch with the magic of MUSIC!
