I’ve been playing piano since I was 10 years old and been teaching since I was 16. Music is a gift from God and I want to use my gift of music to teach others! Lessons once a week for 30 minutes. I charge $90 a month. Together we go through a variety of songs including theory, chords and worship. I always encourage the student to choose songs they specifically want to learn as well. I’m at the Center Monday-Thursday from 10am-5pm.
Welcome! I look forward to the opportunity of sharing my love of music with your student ages 5-14. I've been playing piano for 9 years, teaching piano lessons at Firmly Planted for 3 years, and am currently majoring in music at Portland Bible College. Piano lessons will be held at the Center on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays between 1-5pm. As a fun way to end the year, all students are welcome to participate in and invite their families to an end of year piano recital I have each year for all my students. This is really an enjoyable time for the students to show what they've learned and for their families to get to watch them perform!

I teach beginner-intermediate, note-reading, and chord charts, as well as how to play by ear. $25 per 30 min lesson
Requirements:
Students are required to complete each assignment daily as well as a piano/keyboard to practice on at home.

I have built a diverse and rewarding career as a pianist and piano instructor, beginning with my college years where I studied a minor in music. I later served as a jury pianist for both high school and college students, gaining valuable experience in performance evaluation and collaborative playing.
My work expanded into church music, where I provided piano accompaniment for services at a small church, and eventually into school-based instruction. At a private school, I accompanied chapel services and taught private piano students, further developing my skills as both an educator and performer. After leaving the school setting, I continued offering private piano instruction independently.
Most recently, my time at Firmly Planted has allowed me to return to my passion for teaching, helping students grow in both confidence and musical ability. I am continually refining my teaching techniques and deepening my understanding of how to effectively guide new learners as they begin their musical journeys.
I charge $100 a month for 30 min lessons.
