Music Lessons in Berkeley, CO

Instruments: Piano

I'm looking for motivated students who want to quickly and efficiently improve their piano. I've taken lessons privately, at college (William and Mary in Virginia), and a great interest in empowering people. I have an analytical mind so hopefully that helps break down a complex problem into something very approachable. Let's meet, set our goals and I can be as independent as you need. I have played piano for 25 years and performed for singers, soloists, and in solo concerts as well. Read More

I like to start with basics in every way.. holding the instrument,tuning,songs that interest them,styles, and some history. I want people to be able to play some basic songs fairly quickly. Seeing results in yourself is important to keep motivated. I think it can seem like a impossible thing sometimes. I want everyone to feel like they have accomplished something because music isnt easy. Basics go a long way in most everything in life. Read More

The best thing I can give any student from a lesson is a love of music, and a desire to keep improving. I focus my energy on the positive aspects of a students playing while offering feedback to improve their playing abilities even more, while providing a bag of tools for continuous improvement they can use their entire life. In the start of lessons, with any student, we focus on how to pull a beautiful sound from the instrument, and then start working on the more technical details. Read More

I have been doing private piano lessons as my side job for a few years and discovered a lot of young talents. I also have experience teaching in early childhood education as well as teen-groups in after school learning centers. My teaching experience dates back to my high school days, as I began teaching music classes as a summer class at a local church. I also had volunteering experience as an assistant teacher for Sunday School. Read More

I believe in Keeping it Fun! We get to play. Playing is a big part of the creative process, in that it involves experimenting and finding new ideas, thoughts, and processes that work best for each individual and that will lead to the perfect practice and the excitement of performance. When a student is ready, I will encourage them to do some suggested performing opportunities. Nothing is more thrilling to me and sometimes emotional, than to see one of my students progress to the point of loving music as much as I do, and to go on and spread the good to all those who will listen.

I am a recent transplant from Minneapolis/St. Paul now residing in beautiful Pine, CO near the Elk Creek Elementary school. I enjoy working with students of all ages and, for me, I view teaching as a privilege, to be a part of facilitating the student's goals, and watching the transformation take place. I love sharing music, the history, I love laughter, and I strive to make the overall music learning experience total fun. Read More
