Piano Lessons Mountain

Instruments: Piano

I have been teaching since high school, and have taught students of all ages, ranging from age 5 to adults. I have had multiple opportunities to perform and accompany for various groups within my education at BYU, and have composed many pieces for piano, orchestra, and small groups. My students tend to progress very quickly and have a strong understanding of how to practice and what tools they can call on to reach their individual goals. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar

I have taught private guitar and piano lessons for the last four years. I really love sharing all I can with others to enable them to have a fun and fulfilling experience in learning music. An approach I favor with students is to help them learn songs that they pick and then use those songs as a springboard to teach skills such as technique, reading music, theory, and improvising. I always encourage students to write their own originals and to play for family and friends or any events. Read More

I want my students to enjoy playing the piano. There can be many times when piano teachers assign a student a piece without getting the input of the student. I feel that it is important to follow the method books, but also to allow the students to play a piece of their choosing that will encourage them to continue to play the piano. During the first few lessons with a student, I will get to know what musical styles they like and find music that they will enjoy playing on top of the music that I assign to them. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 8 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 5 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
