Piano Lessons: Lessons for Children and Adults: Piano Lessons: Lessons for Children and Adults

Thu, 11 Jan 2018 20:09:07 +0000

There are a few openings for lessons in my piano studio! No matter your age or your ability, we can help you meet your needs and your goals as a pianist.

Experience has taught us that every student is different. Each one deserves piano lessons created around his or her skill level, learning style, future goals, and musical interests.

At my studio, students begin with the basics and receive a well-rounded musical education – from how to sit and position their hands, to sight-reading, to a little music theory to put it all together. Within two to six months, students master enough of the fundamentals to help choose their musical repertoire for future lessons.

Through it all, we mix in some fun — relevant games and learning incentives, even occasional music outings — to keep our students engaged.

Visit www.PianoWithSusanna.com for more information, and reach out to schedule your free trial lesson!

Hi,
I have witnessed numerous lessons by Daisy. She has a wide ranging pedagogic approach. She adjusts her lessons to the interests and abilities of each student. All the while ensuring strong fundamentals and musicality. It is not an exaggeration to say that students were weeping when she took a sabatical some ten years ago. (disclaimer: this author is related to Daisy) She teaches in Mt Baker

I'm comfortable tutoring students in the following subject areas:

college level
- - biology
high school level
- - biology
  - physics
  - chemistry
  - math

I am a biology professor at a local liberal arts college with over 10 years experience teaching undergraduate and high school students.

My general strategy for learning/teaching is to focus on the fundamentals underlying complex topics and to replace memorization with deeper understanding of the basics.

I charge $40/hr and I'm based in Columbia City; I'm available MWF 8am-5pm and willing to travel to you or meet at a convenient public location.

Ideally, I'd like to set up meetings on a continuing basis for the length of a course, but I'm also available for single session help.

Thank you.

I've been a piano player for 25 years and have found a new interest in teaching it to others; adults and children alike.

I live in Columbia City and can either host or travel.

Rates are $30/hh if you come to me, $35 if I go to you.

Books are from the "John Thompson's Modern Course for the Piano" series.

First lesson is free (need to make sure we like each other).

Lesson times are flexible.

Primary goals for you would be:

Determine your interest in the piano
Assess your skills
Set a development plan
Broaden your musical knowledge
Build a great relationship
Have fun

If those goals sound like something you're interested in doing, send an email to moc.goowyub|selas#moc.goowyub|selas and we'll connect!

In my opinion, the easiest way to find a local dentist is FreeDentistFinder.com. It offers search by zip code and provides a list of dentists accordingly.

Hello Columbia City,

We are former Columbia Citizens, living overseas and have rented our home out. We're coming back to Seattle for a visit in June and July, and would love to stay in the neighborhood. We really miss it! We're older (uh, let's just say, somewhere north of 40), we're homeowners and we're good around the house, we like to garden, we love animals, we're fairly quiet but do bust out the ukuleles from time to time. We can give you referrals from other Columbia Citizens.

If you, or anyone you know, is leaving on vacation and needs someone to take care of things, please drop a line or call: (540) 246-2848. Thanks.

Doctor Recommendation?:

Sat, 08 Sep 2012 19:28:48 +0000

Hi,
My husband and son in law both really love Ari Gillmore at Pac Med Beacon Hill. Since my husband is really healthy and bikes to work Ari said "okay, let"s talk about a good light for you on your bike". And he told my son in law (who is African American) that cigarettes are "the white man's way to keep the black man down". He's a good guy by all accounts.

Hi. I'm a 29 year old male and think it's about time I find myself a personal doctor. Preferably also male and in the downtown/central/capitolhill/southseattle area. If the doctor works with Regence Blue Shield that would be great as well. Any personal recommendations?

Looking for a referral for yardwork. Nothing fancy, just mow the front/back/sides and edging.

Based on earlier recommendations posted to the wiki, I hired David Vlasaty to come in and fix a few nagging problems around my old house. He fixed a stairway/railing issue, a shower enclosure problem, an old door, a table and a couple of other things. He did a great job—he was thorough, efficient, reasonably priced and super pleasant to deal with. I was really pleased with his work and highly recommend him. His number is 852-7289.
