Online Piano Lessons from Richmond, Portland, OR

Twenty five years experience teaching piano, voice, and guitar, with a focus on early childhood development. I obtained my BA in music and Masters in education, while working as a part time piano teacher after school. Teaching alll ages, I have enjoyed many of my students from the age of 6 until they graduate from high school. With a deep love for children and have raised four of my own. It is a gift to experience the world through their eyes and be a part of their enthusiasm for learning. There are no mistakes only opportunities, has become my mission statement. Redirection through questions and logical consequence encourage learners to try new things. Music lessons should be fun and tailored to each individual learning style. In a typical lesson we warm up

with scale work, review last weeks assignment’s and work over any problem

areas encountered in practice. Each new lesson focuses on a new skill, with games, duets, improv, finger exercises, theory, and technique in coordinate movement. As a professional musician I have led choirs, composed vocal and instrumental music, performed live with various bands, and released an album of RnB in 2011. While working at Eliason school of music I taught anywhere from 12-20 students ages 6-60 for 12 years.
