Learning to Play Piano & Keyboards For Beginners – Portland Oregon

Starting from the beginning, you’ll be given all the basics to get you playing in the shortest amount of time.

From the very first day they start piano lessons, I consider all my students to be musicians. There are many ways to learn skills in musicianship. Learning to read music is a foundation to playing. A wide variety of pieces is available, in a number of music genres: popular, classical, new age, blues, jazz, folk.

Playing by ear is something that appeals to many students. Studying chords and melodies increases one’s ability to translate the sound we hear to playing the notes. In addition, blues improvisation and theory are a great addition to playing by ear. Playing duets and jamming is a blast. It’s fun making music together.

For some students, trying out arranging and composing lets you be in the world of the songwriter. Recording videos is always a great way to practice, and maybe hare what you’ve accomplished with family or friends near or far away.
