Piano Lessons

Private piano lessons are given at St Paul Lutheran Church in SE Portland (3880 SE Brooklyn St).

My teaching philosophy centers on adapting to the indivual student and guiding them in what they want personally to accomplish with music while also teaching a strong foundational background with the instrument. Classical, jazz, and modern styles all.

We all have a unique relationship with music; not everyone wants to be a concert pianist, but we can get you there if you do!

Just as well, we don't always have a clear idea of what we even want to do with music, and it's my goal to help all my students discover that.

I teach composition, technique, and music theory all as applicable.
