Private Piano Lessons

Practical, creative piano lessons for beginners, returning pianists, worship musicians, and developing jazz players.

We offer online lessons worldwide and in-home lessons throughout the Tacoma area in English and Spanish. Our lessons are designed for beginners, returning pianists, worship musicians, and students interested in jazz fundamentals through intermediate piano.

Students build strong fundamentals while also developing real-world musical skills like chords, rhythm, ear training, accompaniment, improvisation, and playing by ear.

We work especially well with adult beginners, returning pianists, teens, older kids (6+), worship musicians, and students wanting a more practical and creative approach to piano.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • These lessons are best suited for beginners to early-intermediate students, including adult beginners, returning pianists, teens, and older children (ages 6+). Lessons are especially helpful for students interested in strong fundamentals, chord-based playing, worship piano, improvisation, and practical real-world piano skills.

  • Not at all. Complete beginners are welcome. Whether you’re just starting from scratch or returning to piano after years away, lessons are tailored to your current level, goals, and experience.

  • Lessons may include beginner foundations, note reading, rhythm, technique, chords, lead sheets, accompaniment, worship/church piano, improvisation, music theory through the keyboard, and practical song-based playing. Each lesson plan is personalized based on your goals and interests.

  • Yes. Lessons are available online, and in-home, depending on availability and location. In-home lessons are available within the standard service area, with possible case-by-case exceptions for locations outside that range.

  • Thirty-minute lessons are a great fit for beginners, younger students, and those who prefer shorter, focused sessions. One-hour lessons are ideal for adults, returning pianists, teens, and students who want more time for deeper study, chords, improvisation, accompaniment, or worship piano.

  • That’s completely okay. You can select the option that seems closest to what you need, and the booking form will help me learn more about your goals, experience level, and preferences. I can recommend adjustments if a different lesson format or length would be a better fit.

  • Cancellations or rescheduling requests must be made with more than 24 hours’ notice. Changes made within 24 hours may be subject to the full lesson charge, except in limited emergency situations at the instructor’s discretion.

  • Yes. Students should have regular access to a piano or keyboard for practice between lessons. A digital piano or weighted keyboard is perfectly fine for many students, especially beginners. If you’re not sure whether your instrument is suitable, feel free to ask before booking.
