Piano Lessons Southwest

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Violin, Music, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I am a motivated teacher who delights in seeing his students improve! I started playing violin at 6 years old. I started teaching when I was in High School, with one student. She progressed very fast so I figured after finishing my degree at Central Washington University, that I should continue teaching. I taught for six months with Lessons In Your Home-Seattle and it was a great experience, but I relocated to New Mexico to pursue a M.M. in Music at the University of New Mexico. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice

My teaching style is to be sensitive to each student. Each person has a different relationship and understanding of music. I try to identify and accommodate the ways in which the student learns best. Some students need explicit instruction and to be pushed, others need gentle guidance with time and space to work things out for themselves. A student's personality and ambitions will inform whether they need a relaxed environment or a more assertive variety of instruction. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Ukulele, Recorder, Acoustic Guitar

I began teaching during the time I was in college. I love to inspire students with my own love of music! I also use positive reinforcement (such as stickers) to motivate my younger students to practice and perform their songs successfully. I teach a combination of classical and more contemporary music as well as music history and music theory. I also teach my students to compose and improvise their own songs as well as play by ear.

Instruments: Piano

From working in childcare for over 15 years to being a Montessori pre-school teacher to training adults in different job fields I can teach all age ranges of people. Teaching is something that comes natural to me. Sharing the experience of learning a new skill to mastering it, is very rewarding to me. I enjoy motivating and making a hobby or passion fun and fulfilling for an individual to experience. I am accepting of all and everyone as long as they have a passion for piano and learning the foundations of it! Read More

My teaching experience spans over 25 years and includes private instruction in piano, organ, violin, viola and composition. As an experienced classroom teacher, I have worked as an elementary/middle school teacher and 12 years teaching as an adjunct professor in several colleges and universities. The youngest student in my studio was 6 six years old, while the oldest was 83. I do encourage a regular practice routine for all my students and work to inspire them to move to the next level as needed. Read More
