Piano Lessons Mountain

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Trombone, Euphonium, Keyboard

As a professional, state-licensed music teacher for over fourteen years, I began teaching in Carlsbad, New Mexico in 2001 before moving to Colorado in 2007 and serving in Douglas County School District, Denver Public Schools, and Jefferson County Public Schools. Encouraging students to practice on a regular basis is the cornerstone of musical growth and development, and I help especially younger students find the balance between popular music and classical music as a means of motivating practice and developing their skills.

Instruments: Piano, Voice

My teaching experience dates back to college where I tutored other university students in Ear Training/Sight Singing and Music Theory.  I began teaching private lessons about 7 years ago in Florida while I was pursuing my degree in Music Education.  I have maintained a voice and piano student consisting of 50 students.  From a young age I have always had an interest in teaching and have developed and nurtured the skills necessary to be a successful teacher for close to 15 years.  I love seeing my students overcome difficulties in their learning and enjoy watching them grow as musicians and people.

Instruments: Piano

I use various methods depending on the age and personality of a student. Methods that I use most are Bastien, Schaum, and Agay. I am able to teach out of nearly any method, and sometimes use a combination of different ones. I focus on technic by doing five finger patterns, scales, chords, and arpeggios, each of which are introduced individually once the student reaches certain abilities. For older and advanced intermediate students, I take more input on what pieces they like and construct lessons based on those. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar

Up to this point I have taught mostly kids between the ages of 9 and 13. A lot of this experience was through the Community Education Program at Arapahoe Community College. I was hired there as a teacher the summer after I graduated from the school. The other students have been private instruction. I am a travelling instructor, meaning I teach at students houses and not in a studio. I am a diverse guitarist who is advanced on both the electric guitar and nylon string acoustic. Read More
