Piano Lessons Washington County, OR

Instruments: Piano, Violin, Flute, Music, Keyboard

Music is a lot of work, but it's a lot of fun work. I try to make my lessons as enjoyable as possible. I help the students set realistic goals and hope to instill a desire to practice and get better. I believe the best results come from creating a positive and comfortable environment. I base how each lesson is on the student and adapt. Each person is different and requires a different way of instruction. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Trumpet, Trombone

For trumpet and trombone, I focus on helping the student to develop a consistent warm-up routine and practice routine. I use my own hybrid method that is based on the classic trumpet repertoire, including Arban, Clark, Stamp, Ba-Lin, and Schlossberg. I use my own hybrid because it is simple, effective, and accessible for students of all ages. When it comes to Jazz Improvisation, I use the piano extensively to help students to learn the theory behind the music. Read More

In 4th grade I got a recorder and from then on I've soaked up all the music experiences around me. I fondly remember my first solo performance was 5th grade, and my first honor band was that summer. By my senior year of high school I had been involved in a couple dozen honor bands/choirs/orchestras including an amazing tour of Europe in a 200 person band! I've taught individual lessons to little kids and elders, of all different skill levels, and strongly believe that it is never too late to learn an instrument. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

Music has been a huge focus of my life since a young age, and growing up to be a performer and instructor in the art seems very logical to me, but frankly I wouldn't care to do anything else!
