Our music lesson students will have the opportunity to take lessons from the comfort of their own home or in one of the teachers studios. Careful attention is placed on each student to ensure a custom lesson plan. Our music teachers understand that every student has different needs and abilities and therefore the lessons will be planned with that knowledge in mind.
lessons are available in the following areas:
Instruments: Voice
Finding your voice is so much more than learning the techniques of singing. Music is a beautiful way to express emotions and experiences, and seeing a student progress to the point where they can achieve this is such a beautiful thing, like watching a rare flower blossom. What a privilege for me to be a part of this experience. I aim to make my lessons realistic, setting small achievable goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Bass Guitar, Organ, Conga, Music, Keyboard, Acoustic Guitar
Creativity is our true nature. My lessons facilitate and nurture the true spirit of music from "outside of the box." Teaching songwriting is my favorite, but I can also teach basic intruments to beginners who are just getting started. I spent 4 decades writing songs and playing in bands. In the 2010s I had a radio program called "Jupiter's Jamboree" which ran live every Saturday night for 2 hours for 7 years. I utilized my recordings of my own original compositions and fused them with abstract sonic images to create a cohesive production. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Drums, Bass Guitar
I started teaching music lessons in after school programs when I was ten and fell totally in love. I continued to do this for many years driving to neighboring towns, volunteering at church youth groups and local Boys and Girls Club all around my hometown. In Portland I've been volunteering every week at Nonprofit Music Schools around town to help underprivileged kids, and expose them to the joy of music, as well as teaching at School of Rock.

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Saxophone, Clarinet, Bass Guitar, Synthesizer, Ukulele, Music, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar
For kids I find that having a large quantity of music to learn at each level gives more variety and sense of achievement, so I usually recommend beginning students have multiple books to aid in learning. For example a young piano student will study from lesson, theory, performance, and technique books each week. This yields a well-rounded student who is proud of their achievements and eager to move forward. For adults I recommend a lesson/theory combination book at least to help with reading music. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Voice, Saxophone, Keyboard
I believe demonstrating and guiding students in the technique of practicing is critical, and I lead with providing the motivation that says they, the student, can control their enjoyment of their instrument. By providing critical and lateral thinking when applying new concepts, the responsibility of comprehension rests solely on the student, allowing them to own and solidify what they know and how they acquired that knowledge. With a student-centered philosophy, I believe my role as a teacher is to eventually provide another, trusted set of ears to verify and gauge their progress, and ultimately, to collaborate in the joy of making music.
