Piano Lessons Washington

Often lesson styles are easy going to serve the interests of beginning students, and more demanding for advanced students. Libby writes out lesson plans for all her students according to what she and the student think is appropriate for the student's present acheivement. Libby presents sections on rhythm, tone, reeds-how to adjust them, how to make them etc--she finds music that she thinks the student will like after discussing it with the student. Read More

I like to create my own lesson plans depending on the ability of the student. For a beginning student who is a child, Disney songs are a good choice. Depending on the style the student is interested in, first book of solos (s,a,t,b) and then second book of solos (s,a,t,b). Then I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate to the students genre interest. Read More

I absolutely love the expression on my students faces when something really click and they understand what I am showing them. For every student we sit down and set goals on what they want to learn.

This is usually a piece a slightly higher in level and ability that we slowly work on throughout the lessons. Read More

Each of us as individuals are different; therefore each of us as musicians are also different. Therefore, I enjoy crafting a learning environment with each new student that meets them where they are and challenges them to grow in all areas of music.

Regular practice and regular lessons unlock almost limitless possibilities inside each given piece of music. Read More
