Piano Lessons Mountain

Instruments: Piano, Organ, Keyboard

I have been teaching music since 1998. My mother, aunts and grandmother taught piano. It has been a wonderful thing to have a recital and the parents see the results of all the fun the students have had. I think the students will enjoy piano music so much that they will create lifelong habits. I encourage them to enjoy other instruments and genres. Then I encourage them to start creating and composing on their own. Read More

I am a driven and compassionate teacher with an equal passion for music and teaching. I graduated from Luther College in May 2019 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music with a minor in Education. I have been singing and playing piano for as long as I can remember, and have performed with a variety of different groups and ensembles throughout the United States, including tours with the esteemed Luther choirs.

In addition, I will write out some exercises and guiding information and instructions to assist them in their practice and approach to style and technique. Read More

As I experienced different teachers, I learned that I do my best when I enjoy my lesson. To make this happen, it's the teacher's job to make the lesson more fun and comfortable for students. Since I was not always the best student for my teachers (I know, I know... I used to hate doing practices on pieces I didn't like!), I know how students think and am more than willing to understand their perspective. Read More
