Piano Lessons in Colorado Springs, CO

Instruments: Piano

My lessons are usually 30 minutes long for beginners. On top of learning from a piano series, I like to incorporate songs and styles that the student is insterested in learning.

My lessons are structured with attention paid to the fundamentals of each instrument and the fundamentals of music. I have learned that when a student practices a mistake over and over it remains a mistake.

When the student can successfully play a passage correctly then the work turns into fun music making. Read More
