Instruments: Piano Violin
I began teaching lessons as early as high school. It started out as a way to mentor younger students in my school district and get them ready for auditions for orchestras in high school. I then began to take other students and continued to do so throughout my undergrad. I have had students ranging from age 3 to age 15 before, but youre never too old to start learning music! A students experience with a teacher can make or break their interest in music. Read More

Once a three-year-old banging out chords on a piano, now a thriving cellist, pianist, percussionist, composer, and amateur recording engineer, my name is Rhett "Ret/R.D.C." North and I am a passionate, dedicated, and enthusiastic instructor who loves getting people excited about music! I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Composition and career certification in Music Technology, and my favorite part in everything I do is joining musicians, from beginner to master, in the joy of learning music.

Instruments: Piano
For young beginners I start with a wonderful method book called "Progressive Piano method for young beginners". It begins with note reading which I feel is one of the most important parts of beginner piano playing. The book includes a play-along cd that I use for rhythm practice during lessons to clap and count, because having a steady rhythm is the second most important aspect of playing the piano. Lessons include a mixture of reading and playing music from the book, clapping and counting, flashcards, and musical games. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
I began teaching voice as a school project when I was 14 years old and realized that I I loved it! From then on, I always kept my hand in teaching throughout my high school and college years. I started teaching full time, at which point I added piano and speaking to my repertoire. I have experience as a performing singer, session musician and actor and I I love helping my students get the most out their lessons, whether they simply want to learn their instrument to the best of their ability, or learn more about writing music and the industry.

Instruments: Piano
My students thrive on goal setting. From the very first lesson, we work together to set clear, meaningful objectives that guide our learning journey. We revisit these goals regularly, tracking progress and adjusting as needed to keep students motivated and on track. I tailor my approach to each individual, recognizing that every student learns differently. Accomplishments, whether big breakthroughs or small wins, are celebrated, as each is a step toward the overall goal and a reason to feel proud. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For me, enjoyment as well as developing proper, healthy technique is key. This means that student may have to do more gritty work than with other teachers, but this pays off as they get to tackle more challenging rep and ultimately can connect skills to repertoire more quickly. However, I always like to meet students where they're at. If they want to learn how to play their favorite pop song on piano, or want to audition for their local theater's musical theater production, my priority will always be teaching in ways that the student feels is relevant to their goals and interests.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have many teachers that can take credit for this, beginning with both my parents. My mother was my children'c choir director at church. Prior to that, I can remember her helping me match pitch as I would sing. My father was my junior high (middle school) band director. Needless to say, I grew up in a very musical home. I had two different piano teachers growing up. Both of them were highly educated and respected musicians and educators. My high school band directors were both excellent and inspired me greatly. In college, I had two different private studio teachers who taught me much about private instruction with techniques I use to this day.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I played trombone and piano all through my schooling and still do play both. I have found piano to be my go-to instrument when I just want to sit down and make music. I can cover all the parts as a solo artist and make music that will appeal to the room, orchestrating as I go. The piano allows you to fill out the bog sounds and emote the tender moments like no other instrument. While I feel I am pretty good at the instrument, I always feel inspired to improve in my technique and expression on the piano.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Seeing so many who I have instructed along the way continue their love and passion for music and piano is always heartening. I have composed and recorded over pieces of music on the piano, currently on 5 cd's, with a sixth cd on it's way. Playing and performing live for people who come to hear you play and seeing them buy your music and comment on it later is always heartening. Hearing people's emotional responses to music I have composed is a truly beautiful thing. I really take it to heart. Music is all about the moment.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My first year of private teaching, I taught for a private studio in Greeley, CO. We would do lessons at students' homes, then have a "keyboard band" practice at the studio once per week. During the keyboard band time, students would play some musical pieces together and it was a unique concept. Several studios of this type were set up throughout northern Colorado, so we had an adjudicated contest pitting the studio schools against each other. Our studio school won that year.
In addition, my school choirs have won numerous awards.
I did have a middle school piano student whom I recommended to the Aspen Summer Piano Institute and was accepted. Earlier in the year, he earned a Superior rating at State Contest.
