Piano Lessons Iowa

Instruments: Piano

I have been teaching piano for 8 years. I started when I was still in high school and found my love of teaching within the first few months of starting. After high school, I went to college and continued to help fellow classmates improve their piano skills as well as understand theory and aural during group studies.

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Keyboard

I am a college student, but I love to teach and play piano. I've been playing for a little over 13 years, and have been teaching since I graduated high school.

My goal is to have my students develop a passion for music and a love for their instrument. I am very patient, and very encouraging.

As I mentioned above, one of my favorite parts about teaching is learning from my students. I encourage my students to take chances, perform often, and to not be afraid of making mistakes. All experiences help you learn, no matter what level you are. I encourage students to make the music personal to them and relate to it in a way that suits their personality. This involves my, as a teacher, getting to know my students and learning about their life outside of music. Read More
