I hold a BA in Music (SSU, May 2000) and I have been teaching beginning piano lessons privately for over 20 years.
I approach piano/music instruction with the whole person in mind. I encourage my students to approach the piano – and all music in general – through mindfulness, playfulness, encouraging them to explore the world of music making at their own pace while in a safe and nurturing environment in my home in west Santa Rosa. I will also occasionally include beginning theory and composition methods in our lesson time.
My rates are reasonable, accepting payments on a monthly basis through cash, check or PayPal, offering a small discount for multi-student families.
Our lessons will be 30-minutes per week (45 min. for adults if desired) using the Alfred’s Piano Method series (paid for by the student), and I will offer supplemental materials as needed.
Please contact me for more information, references, and to set up a complimentary introductory lesson!
