Piano Lessons, Keyboard for Beginners, Portland Oregon – Children, Adults

If learning piano is something you have been thinking about for some time, here’s some of the things you can expect learning to play piano or keyboard. Learning piano is a wonderful new skill that you will have for years. It’s a very personal endeavor, and can be exciting and adventurous. You will begin to appreciate music in a way that you never imagined. Listening to music is great, but being able to play it will give you an entirely new level of understanding.

Individual private piano lessons will give you a weekly opportunity to work on new music and stay on a smooth course. I teach students from the age of 4 and up. Many students begin lessons as adults. I love working with beginner students. It’s great to watch their progress and see them explore the world of piano and keyboard music. Students decide which direction they would like to take the lessons. Some students prefer to work mostly on learning to read music. There is so much wonderful music to learn on piano; Classical, Pop, Blues, New Age, Folk, Jazz. Other students may wish to add blues improvisation, theory, and perhaps songwriting. I want students to have a fun experience learning to play and feel a sense of accomplishment right from the beginning. My studio is comfortable and relaxed place to study piano.

Having fun is the best way to get students relaxed and ready to learn new things at the studio. There are so many wonderful pieces of music to learn, from Bach to Beatles to Ben Fold. Reading music, playing by ear, blues improvisation, learning about melodies and chords, recording a video animation with music; there’s always something exciting to work on. Playing piano is a great way to take time off from the busy world and do something for yourself. Kids have lots of fun; so do adults.
