Interested in piano lessons?
I have been teaching piano intermittently since 2011 in my hometown of Roseburg, OR. My home studio houses a beautiful 6'7" Schimmel grand piano. I teach improvisers, composers, by-the-note players, and those in-between. Anyone willing to learn is welcome to inquire about lessons, whether or not they have any prior knowledge of music. I love teaching beginners of all ages!

Additional Thoughts:
I believe that each student should enjoy a personalized learning experience. There is no 'one way' to teach any student - every student is unique and learns in their own way. The goal of making music should never be to 'be the best' or show off; for some, it may be about learning a skill and, for others, about self-expression. Whatever your reasons, don't allow fear to stand between you and your goals.
